Active Protection Modeling and Technologies
Abstract
This effort supports the development of Active Protection System (APS) technologies and common architecture to reduce vehicle weight while significantly increasing protection against current and emerging advanced threats by reducing reliance on armor through other means such as sensing, warning, and active countermeasures. The APS common architecture will provide adaptable APS solutions that can be integrated across Army vehicle platforms as required. This research includes the development of new modeling and simulation capabilities along with supporting experimental and theoretical approaches to enable active protective systems. This effort includes integrated information (e.g., battlefield geography, threat launch detection and tracking) and intelligence to inform protection optimization, requiring collaboration across multiple Army organizations. This effort complements and is coordinated with Program Elements, PE 0602601A/project C05, PE 0603004A/project 232, PE 0603005A/project 221, PE 0603270A/project K16, and PE 0603313A/project 263.
