	TROPHY Active Protection System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Currently, the system is designed for the Stryker light armored vehicle and for the Israeli Merkava main battle tank.
		The system has an automatic reloading mechanism that can handle multiple attacks, and can simultaneously engage several threats, while the armored vehicle is on the move.
		The system is designed to work against all types of anti-tank missiles and rockets, such as the ubiquitous rocket propelled grenades.

	Active Protective Systems
		It is a close-in system of antimissile defense that creates an active fire zone of protection at a safe distance around the vehicle.1 Countermeasure, or soft kill, systems confuse and divert the inbound enemy missile with the use of munitions (obscurants), jammers, decoys, and signature reduction measures.
		Arena will not respond to false images or targets such as: small caliber projectiles, targets flying away from the tank, targets outside of the 50 meter envelope, or slow-flying objects, such as pieces of earth.
		Additionally, the system does not respond to shells or projectiles exploding around the tank, or targets whose trajectory does not cross a protected portion of the tank.18 The concern for dismounted infantry is considered, with a danger zone identified 20-30 meters around the tank.

	T-80UM1 Bars
		This system is designed to protect the tank against antitank grenades and missiles fired by all types of infantry weapons, as well as ground and air-launched ATGMs flying at a speed of 70 to 700 m/s, regardless of the type of control systems and warheads.
		Arena provides protection for a moving or stationary tank in any weather and in any combat environment, irrespective of the angle of impact of the enemy's weapons.
		The active protection system doubles Bars' lifetime, and if the tank is used in peace-keeping operations or to control local conflicts, its lifetime is tripled or quadrupled.

		If, on the other hand, we reach 1999 and the threat does not warrant deployment of an NMD system, the department's three-plus-three program is designed to preserve the capability to deploy an NMD system within three years by continuing development of the system elements and conducting a series of integrated tests.
		This system, funded and developed as part of the Space-based Infrared System program, provides 360-degree over-the-horizon sensing throughout the threat trajectory, which greatly increases the system performance against all of the potential threats.
		Two major efforts for this evaluation include active command and control simulations, which combine architectural options, specific threats and concepts of operations in a simulated real-world environment; and a cooperative effort in the development of the battle management and command, control and communications element.

	The Paradigm of Naval Mine Countermeasures: A Study in Stagnation
		Systems are too often developed on a stand-alone basis, in scenarios designed to emphasize individual systems or missions, devoid of a larger context.
		A command and control system should be defined by the doctrine it serves and not by the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP's) that it directs.
		An appropriate command and control system for expeditionary forces would be focused on naval doctrine and serve as an enabler for the execution of TTPs.

	RADAR WARNING RECEIVERS AND DEFENSIVE ELECTRONIC COUNTERMEASURES
		The sophistication and degree of integration of RWRs and ECM are role dependent and the systems carried by light tactical aircraft such as the F-16 and F-18 cannot compare with those carried by heavyweights dedicated to deep penetration such as the F-15 or F-111.
		A monopulse track ing system aligns itself with the direction of the incoming return from the target and is thus driven off the target.
		The F-111's EW systems enabled the aircraft to penetrate deep into the North Vietnamese air defence system without any escort jamming or defence suppression aircraft, although more recently the aircraft is operated in conjunction with dedicated escort jamming EF-111 A aircraft.

		The complete system is carried in a boat-shaped container that slides onto a special mount on the hull top at the rear of the vehicle.
		The ammunition system used by the 152 mm 2A36 is of a new design and is not inter-operable with that of earlier former Soviet artillery systems, such as the 152 mm 2S3, and may well be of a new streamlined design.
		The 2S19 self-propelled artillery system is based on the chassis of the T-80 MBT but with automotive components of the T-72 MBT as the 2S19 has a distinct exhaust outlet on the left side that is not on the T-80 which is powered by a gas-turbine engine.

	Active Protection Systems for Land Vehicles
		Russian Active Protection Systems were matured much earlier than the west's, as they were designed to counter the threat from the west's anti-tank systems such as TOW, Hellfire and HOT missiles fired from ground and helicopter platforms, as well as airborne launched anti-tank missiles (such as the Maverick).
		Although the Russian systems were much heavier than their current Western counterparts, they provided the countermeasures that could decimate the western threat.
		This system was later followed by the Arena-E system, which introduced 360 degrees protection from side, front and partially top attacks.

	Airborne Electronic Countermeasures
		The Russian Navy on the other hand tightly controlled its use of WT and exploited its passive and active modes tactically: a number of Russian ships avoided trouble when they heard Japanese signals traffic before they were spotted, and the Russians disrupted Japanese operations on several occasions by jamming their communications with WT.
		Initially during these conflicts, the western systems were foremost used to identify the threat and advise the pilot to take neccessary steps to counter it.
		Subsequently their sophistication increased, and the simple systems were made capable of not only detecting the threat, but also countering it by electronic countermeasures.

		Arena on a battlefield Arena on a battlefield In combat mode of operation, the radar searches for targets and locates them during their approach to the tank.
		The system operates in any weather, round the clock, detects and engages targets under all conditions of tank combat employment, including while on the move with a turned turret.
		There are several safety blocks in the APS launching circuits, which can be only released when the system equipment is in combat mode, the dangerous target is detected and there is a clear indication that this target is about to hit the tank.

		The protection is further improved by the addition of the Arena active defense system, which fires a small projectile in the path of incoming rounds to intercept them.
		This system has 10 projectiles per face of the armor except the rear arcs, and intercepts the incoming round on a roll of 12 or less.
		The T-80/Arena is a T-80U with the Arena active countermeasures system, which fires a small projectile in the path of incoming rounds to intercept them.

	Arena Active Protection System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Arena Active Protection System (APS) is an active countermeasure system developed at Russia's Kolomna-based Engineering Design Bureau to protect armoured fighting vehicles from shaped-charge projectiles.
		When the system is triggered, a warning signal is activated, to warn nearby personnel to keep distance or take cover.
		Arena was designed partly in response to vulnerabilities of the Russian tanks, discovered during fighting in Chechnya in the 1990s.

	Defense Tech: "Active Protection" Speeds Up
		In addition, a vehicle equipped with the Quick Kill system would typically carry eight to 16 such rounds that could be launched in a salvo to counter multiple RPG attacks.
		The problem in defeating such a system is not of guiding a missile to the tank (some of you mention using vehicles radar-pointless since a properly designed system will shoot down the missile be it passive radar guided or whotsever).
		The Arena system is suppoused to be even more effective, but the friendly fire problems remain.

		Outside of actual operations, the only arena where the undersea warrior of the 21st century will be able to practice and maintain the critical skills necessary to ensure battlespace dominance will be on the synthetic battlefield of the future, using modern modeling and simulation techniques.
		Historically, combat system team training has been conducted at shore-based training sites, since the technology of earlier times could not support the processor speed and bandwidth necessary to run complicated simulation models onboard, especially within the limited space available on a submarine.
		Scenario instructions are passed to the subsystems, which in turn use a combination of simulation and sensor stimulation to generate realistic tactical displays for the subsystem operators.
