%X We developed a model to simulate a person, with and without protective armor, being subjected to an impact of a high speed, rigid projectile. The complex nature of the head and chest are simulated in our layered, spaced, various thickness targets made of different materials. A rigid projectile-target interaction model is described. Target resistance force was obtained from a generalized Poncelet equation. Good agreement between observed and computed penetration phenomena was obtained.
