Fallout Re: MBT's

What I get is...One launcher with a 150-180 degree arc of detection will fire one round against that inbound threat/then it will "detonate" and provide the platform with a full 360 degree level of protection/the second round in that same launcher will be armed to respond against another inbound threat if launched against the platform if again it still falls within it's arc of detect-ability.

From the ref...
"...system releases a (First round.-mine) dense cloud of fast-moving splinters in the trajectory path of the incoming threat, creating a 360o kill zone between the incoming threat and the host vehicle, while a backup munition is automatically deployed ready to fire once the first round is disposed of."

Though I don't like that highlighted word where it is...
"360o kill zone between the incoming threat and the host vehicle,"

My normal backup protocol for this type of situation has already been activated and launched.

Regards,
Pat
