Combat Veh Survivablty
Abstract
This Project matures, integrates and demonstrates protection and survivability technologies such as active protection systems (APS), advanced vehicle armors, blast mitigation and occupant safety devices to address both current and emerging advanced threats to ground vehicles. This Project integrates complimentary survivability technologies to enable advanced protection suites, providing greater survivability and protection against emerging threats. This Project executes the Army's APS program to mature and demonstrate APS technologies in order to increase protection against current and emerging advanced threats while maintaining or reducing vehicle weight by reducing reliance on armor through the use of other means such as sensing, warning, hostile fire detection and active countermeasures. This Project develops an APS Common Architecture that defines the component interface standards and component specifications enabling adaptable APS solutions that can be integrated across Army vehicle platforms as required. Work in this Project supports the Army Science and Technology Ground Maneuver Portfolio. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the Tank Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC), Warren, Michigan in collaboration with the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Adelphi and Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD, Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), Picatinny, NJ, Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), Huntsville, AL and Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD and Fort Belvoir, VA.
