Experimental investigation of high velocity perforation 2/1 GLARE 3 target panels with flat ended projectile was presented. Also, numerical simulations were carried out using explicit nonlinear finite element software, LS-DYNA. The ballistic limit was determined experimentally and numerically. Strain rate hardening effects were considered in numerical model. There is reasonable difference between numerical and experimental results.
