	Chobham armour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chobham armour is a composite armour developed at the British tank research centre on Chobham Common.
		Although the exact composition of Chobham armour remains a secret, it appears to be a combination of ceramic layered between armour steel plating, a combination that is excellent at defeating high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds.
		The latest version of Chobham armour is used on the Challenger 2 (called Dorchester armour), and (though the composition most probably differs) the M1 Abrams series of tanks, which according to official sources is presently protected by silicon carbide tiles.
