Vehicle System. This new concept
in Reactive Armor incorporates
state-of-the-art technology while
utilizing an insensitive high-energy
explosive.

Reactive Armor tiles produced by

Rafael and GDATP have been type
classified for production. During
extensive U.S. Government qualifi-
cation, over 1,500 armor tiles were
extensively tested. These tests
included:
• Shaped-charge armor protection
• Small-arms sensitivity
• Sequential environmental
• Transportation tests
• Artillery-fragment sensitivity
Specifications
• Sympathetic detonation

protection without exceeding current
weight constraints shaped-charge systems.
