Re: British Army and active armour protection
Just curious......how do you think that differs from what we already have in the game unit 28? VIRSS and CIWS are just convenient , short general descriptions for 1/ a system that occludes the target vehicle and 2/ one that actively disables incoming missiles( in the code it's called ARENA but CIWS fits better as four letters..... MUSS is 1/ and that's what we already have
Quote:
Following the detection of an ATGM, the system can automatically launch the active countermeasures. These are located in smoke grenade dischargers, which can be rotated into the direction of the missiles. Unlike conventional smoke grenades, the MUSS countermeasures create a cloud of multi-spectral smoke, that blocks IR, UV and laser beams. This is believed to be an effective way of disabling fire-and-forget missiles
