Defense Technology International - April 2008 - (Page 27) head (anti-tank missile) or half-way down the length of a kinetic-energy penetrator rod.” More than 1,000 ballistic trials have been performed with AMAP-ADS, including tests against kinetic-energy penetrators fired by 120- and 125-mm. guns, closing in at 1,700-1,800 meters/sec., he says. “In the case of penetrator rods, the aim is to reduce their performance 5070%, so the vehicle must be sufficiently armored to absorb the remaining force of the round,” notes Kayser. “A light mobility vehicle has no chance against a 120-mm. kinetic-energy round, even with our system.” According to a senior Rheinmetall engineer, the projected energy from an AMAP-ADS energetic countermeasure is aimed to strike a lateral blow to the incoming rod, causing it to hit the vehicle while slightly tumbled. “Normally, the first parts of the rod convert their energy by burning a hole through the arSwedish CV90 infantry fighting vehicle with AMAP-ADS boasts sensors and countermeasures that are designed to defeat a range of threats. mor, creating an opening for the aft part to penetrate. If a rod strikes armor with a less-than-perfect attitude, energy will not be focused on one spot and penetration fails,” the engineer says. One advantage of using energetic material to disrupt the directed-energy thrust is that it creates no fragmenta- tion that could injure bystanders and cause collateral damage. In fact, Kayser claims, the effect of the active countermeasure would be limited to “approximately 2 meters (6.6 ft.) around the vehicle, with the safety of bystanders guaranteed as close as 5 meters from the vehicle.” � FMV/IBD SEASPRAY 7500 E, PicoSAR.
