Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) Nets
Abstract
The Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) Nets program developed a near-term counter RPG net system with performance at least equivalent to bar or slat armor, but that is lighter and easier to deploy; and a mid-term net-based system with active elements that has greatly improved performance. Development of these systems was supported by modeling to enhance understanding of the net interactions and with extensive live fire testing against RPGs. Successful candidates have been installed on vehicles for evaluation in an operational context. DARPA is working with the Marine Program Manager for Motor Transport to develop, test and transition this capability to combat forces.
