Active protection system

An Active Protection System (APS) is a technology used in military vehicles to defend against incoming threats, like missiles or projectiles. Instead of just relying on armor for protection, an APS detects and intercepts these threats in real-time. It uses sensors to identify the incoming danger and can deploy countermeasures, such as projectiles or electronic jamming, to neutralize the threat before it hits. This proactive approach enhances the survival rate of vehicles and their occupants on the battlefield, making them more resilient against advanced weapons.
