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 PE 0602601A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Technology)/Project C05 (Armor Applied Research), PE 0603004A (Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology)/Project 232 (Advanced Lethality & Survivability Demo), PE 0603005A (Combat Vehicle Survivability and Automotive Advanced Technology)/Project 221 (Combat Vehicle Survivability), PE 0603270A (Electronic Warfare Technology)/Project K16 (Non-Commo ECM Technology Demo), and PE 0603313A (Missile and Rocket Advanced Technology) / Project 263 (Future Missile Technology Integration).
