IS there any book which teach Polish in 30 days?
Yes --> google translator

More seriously - all is visible on photos. It's just ceramic armour for APCs IFV and fortress, and all is given in table on the last page: STANAG level and armour mas on 1m2
So in STANAG level IV so able to stop AP 14,5mm B32 this CAWA4 light cermaic armour weight only 121kg/m2 what is very very good result.
This armour can be used in all truck, jeep, APC, IFV etc.

This armor can be also used for tanks, you just increase number of layers and overall thickness and mass of armor. So in theory CAWA-3 and CAWA-4 can also be used to protect many different types of platforms depending on requirements and armor thickness/layers.

According to an article about AMAP the aeral density of older ceramic armour (i.e. MEXAS) providing protection according to STANAG 4569 level 3 was about 60 kg/m² which is essentially the same as CAWA-3. The weight of the ceramic tiles could be reduced from 40 to 28 kg with AMAP ceramics - if the rest (base armour, backing, splinter foil) stays at the same weight (which should be 20 kg given the total armour weight and the ceramic tile weight), then AMAP has an aeral density of 48 kg/m².

Indeed, but when we consider how small budget have a WITU and other polish institutes and how small batches of some solution ussaly is taken by polish army then even CAWA-4 is sukcess :)

Better CAWA-1/2/3/4 used in IFV/APC then better solution but to expensive for polish army... ech...

This is first official vusialization of new Polish IFV based on lighter variant of universal modular tracked platform, this variant is amphibious, it have unmanned turret module armed with 7,62mm machine gun, 30mm automatic cannon and ATGM's launcher.

Rumors says that september this year, technology demonstrator of this vehicle might be presented on MSPO exhibition.

Notice that those IFV have on both sides 4 APS "Szerszeń" (Hornet) modules. This APS is preatty the same as Ukrainian "Zaslon"

Japan enters foreign market of armaments. And this is a very serious competitor.
