Adaptive and Cooperative Protection
Abstract
This effort pursues a holistic approach toward achieving significant weight reduction and protection from future threats by utilizing real-time information, combined with threat knowledge, to provide ever-increasing protection. This approach includes integrating individual vehicle capabilities of armor, underbody blast protection, active protection systems, and advanced soft kill methods into one layered solution to maximize survivability and minimize weight for combat and tactical vehicles. This effort will investigate modern protective technologies that implement complex kinematic mechanisms in order to bend, break and disperse threat projectiles before they can injure crew or disable vehicles.
