Start with the world's greatest light tank/APC the M113 Gavin for unrivalled all-terrain mobility and air transportability with passive armor protection and v-hull shaping to avoid most land mines and withstand what are encountered and apply an active protection system (APS) like the IMI Iron Fist and now even heavy tank 120mm main gun rounds cannot even scratch the Gavin!

A light mechanized M113 Gavin or Mini-Gavin force with APS will "get there firstest with the mostest" to ambush heavier forces and can go with foot infantry to dominate with overmatch in closed terrains...

  • well isnt that dandy. looks good on paper dosnt it

  • Why we SHOULD do HONEST tests & evaluations and select the BEST system.

  • RPGs are soo outdated there is no point in making this kind of technology to defend against technology as old as the RPG, what about the stinger and other much deadlier anti material weapons? , the only vehicles that would really need protection like this are lightly armoured vehicle.

  • RPGs are not out-dated; we are overmatched by their HE shock action created by their numbers; we need our own reusable RPGs at squad-level and vehicle defenses.

  • Arena Active Protection System is cheaper and better then this peace of shit.

  • That remains to be seen in honest tests & evals.

  • the Abrams Tank is unstoppable now

  • i'd still prefer AMAP ADS

    doesn't rely on a turret turned- , and a projectile launched toward the target

    -> faster interception and also simultaneous interception of multiple threats if necessary

    also it has no moving parts and more discharges available before needing a reload

  • My only concern is that the cost of this system is as much as the gavin itself! Also, it would be far better if they included more barrels, or a rapid reload capability, because after firing those two shots, it appears as if the crew will need to get out of their vehicle and manually reload the iron fist! That will be a problem in swarm RPG attacks. But don't worry, this is an amazing first step, and in a few years, linear advances/upgrades will boost its perfomance even higher!

  • @anamu7tram and how would you know? 

  • Jeez. that thing must spin insanly fast to point in the right direction in time!!

  • @dynmicpara US rmy GOT LAW portatible rockets...the problem ii got only one use...

  • @anamu7tram ARENA costs 300k

    iron fist costs 100k

    aena 70%-90% chance of hitting friendlly troops

    iron fist less then 1%
