Armor

Armour (British English or Canadian English) or armor (American English) is a protective covering that is used to prevent damage from being inflicted to an object, individual or vehicle by direct contact weapons or projectiles, usually during combat, or from damage caused by a potentially dangerous environment or activity (e.g., cycling, construction sites, etc.). Personal armor is used to protect soldiers and war animals. Vehicle armor is used on warships and armored fighting vehicles.
