Two dimensionless parameters are proposed to give first-order approximations for the ballistic performance of ceramic-faced bicomponent armor plates impacted by conical-nosed steel projectiles. The current work collates expansive experimental data from Wilkins and Mayseless covering a broad range of material and mechanical properties, target construction, and projectile dimensions, the data is collapsed using the Hugoniot elastic limit of the ceramic strike face as a strength metric. We find that within datasets where experimental conditions are kept constant, a singular cubic curve can be generated, but variations in experimental conditions for the ballistic limit test between datasets can result in differences in the predictive curve coefficients.
