One of the recent techniques which has attracted attention from researchers is the use of Nano particles to reinforce composites. While the technique does not make any changes in the weight of the structure, it improves its mechanical and physical properties. One form of Nano particles includes Carbonic Nano Tubes (CNT). Since its discovery, CNT has found wide application in industryIn this article, the response of aluminum hybrid panels and composites made from epoxy-Kevlar and aluminum hybrid panels and Nano-composites made from epoxy-Kevlar to ballistic impact was studied. Four groups of the panels were constructed using 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 percent of carbon nanotubes (CNT)s. The hybrid samples constructed and tried out in this experiment has been done using manual layer-making and heated press.The thickness of the panels constructed from two aluminum plates and ten Kevlar 29 plates was consistent. The ballistic impact test using gas gun was implementated by conical bullet 7.6 gr shooting in two avrege velocities (220 m/s and 275 m/s). input and output velocity with each sample was assessed using a laser speedometer. The amount of energy absorption and special energy absorption of passing of the rocket was determined as the criteria for the comparison of the efficiency of ballistic of different panels. The results indicated that among the four samples examined, the panel made up of 1 percent CNTs had the most amount of energy absorption and ballistic resistance.
