1. A shield comprising:
- a two ply polymer film including members intersecting at spaced sealed nodes, the film configured such that an incoming threat striking the shield breaks the film but is not detonated;
a hard point sandwiched between said two plies at least at select sealed nodes, the hard point designed to dig into and dud the threat; and
a frame at least partially about the film for spacing the film from a vehicle or structure to be protected.

6. A shield manufacturing method comprising:
-
forming a first polymer film ply to include members intersecting at nodes; placing a hard point at least at select nodes; placing a second polymer film including members intersecting at nodes over the first polymer film ply and the hard points fixing the hard points at their respective nodes; sealing the first and second polymer films together sandwiching said hard points between the first and second polymer plies at sealed nodes thereof; and configuring the first film and the second film such that an incoming threat striking the shield breaks the films but is not detonated. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
