VIII.
Armor
The armor on the Apache is a standard Chobam laminar developed in the late
20th century and improved with the materials science advances made during the
Robotech era. This armor was mainly designed to defeat projectiles and other
kinetic weapons. The armor stops all small arms, and heavy infantry weapons
fire, provides good resistance to light mecha-mounted weaponry, and provides
fair resistance to medium mecha-mounted weaponry, such as the Valkyrie's 55mm
APFSDS round.
The Apache provides full protection from nuclear, biological, and chemical
hazards, using an overpressure crew compartment environment activated by
radiation and hazardous chemical sensors, or manually when biological warfare
conditions are anticipated. The internal consumables supplies can provide
atmosphere for one week maximum.
