Abstract
This article consists of the study and analysis of the armor effectiveness of a military combat vehicle against possible attacks with electromagnetic weapons. For the study, it is necessary to use two important softwares namely ALTAIR FEKO and MATLAB. ALTAIR FEKO allows the creation or importation of a 3D model of an armor vehicle and work with the model changing their characteristics like relative permeability, electrical conductivity, and material thickness. With this software, we can simulate the 3D model and analyze its shielding effectiveness with the observation of induced currents inside the vehicle and determine if these currents can cause the destruction of the electronics systems of vehicle. The use of MATLAB toolboxes like an App Designer to develop an application to calculate the shielding effectiveness of an armored vehicle is an additional and quick option to calculate armor losses because this application represents a significative save of memory and computational resources.
