1. A reactive armor comprising:
- a self-healing outer layer;
a ceramic tile layer that includes a plurality of ceramic tiles that each define at least one hollow space and explosive material, wherein the explosive material is deposited in the at least one hollow space of substantially all of the plurality of ceramic tiles so that substantially all of the plurality of ceramic tiles encapsulate a portion of the explosive material and separate the portion of the explosive material from other portions of the explosive material; and
