| 1. An insulation which is resistant to ballistic impact, comprising:
a first layer of high-strength, ballistic resistant polymeric fabric, the first layer of high-strength polymeric fabric comprises
a honeycomb cross-section having a plurality of voids defined by individual honeycomb sections;
a layer of material having a cellular structure disposed upon said first fabric layer; and,
a second layer of high-strength polymeric fabric disposed upon said cellular material, and wherein the layer of cellular material
infiltrates the fabric layers, and wherein the cellular material infiltrates and fills the voids defined by each individual
honeycomb.
