("General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products Inc. in Burlington, VT is the main supplier, in conjunction with Israel’s RAFAEL who pioneered the design. The add-on armor kit for the M2/M3 Bradleys, for instance, includes 105 tiles that look like small boxes and attach to the sides, the turret and the front of each vehicle. The armor is some of the most advanced in the world, and includes both passive protection of strong material that diverts the rocket, plus reactive protection")
"the [reactive] armor, which triggers a small explosion to fend off a larger one, has reduced the Army’s immediate need for active protection systems, which are intended to shoot down incoming weapons.
US invaded Iraq in 2003. "In 2004, they [US] decided to put reactive armor tiles on all of the service’s Abrams tanks, Bradley armored personnel carriers and Stryker fighting vehicles."
"Reactive armor works by attaching small packs of explosives to a vehicle’s outer shell. The explosives detonate when hit by incoming fire, blowing the round away from the vehicle. * * * Each tile protects only against a single hit.
