DARPA's Iron Curtain Active Protection System
Loading...
Uploaded by theworacle on Dec 1, 2009
Edited DARPA video showing 2008 tests of the Artis-developed Iron Curtain anti-RPG active protection system for light tactical vehicles - here an HMMWV. DARPA in November 2009 awarded Mustang Technologies a contract to integrate Iron Curtain with its Crosshairs counter-shooter system for tests on an MRAP. Cued by the corner-mounted Crosshairs' radar, an optical sensor classifies the incoming threat and selects the aimpoint. When the RPG is just inches from the vehicle, the roof-mounted countermeasure fires straight down, deflagrating the warhead before it can detonate.

Israelis had this for sale like 5 years ago but the US had to go with an overpriced and outright crazy option of shooting the incoming missile down with another missile - by Raytheon (now scrapped). Biggest threat to US troops is corruption.

If you fire from a building straight down, does it work

It's like the Avenger from C&C Generals, except with less lasers.

I wonder what poor bastard got stuck with the job of driving that hummer during all those test runs?

@HaloPokemon5Master Everything has it's flaws. It won't always work. The point is that it increases the chance of survival, but does not eliminate the chance of death.

@tingshens If it's a solid wall of bullets being fired at them, then this system won't make much difference. The stream will break through eventually.
