Adaptive optimisation of explosive reactive armour for protection against kinetic energy and shaped charge threats

We evaluate an adaptive optimisation methodology, Bayesian optimisation (BO), for designing a minimum weight explosive reactive armour (ERA) for protection against a surrogate medium calibre kinetic energy (KE) long rod projectile and surrogate shaped charge (SC) warhead. We perform the optimisation...
