Our proven passive and reactive armor product lines are now joined by state-of-the-art active protection systems to provide full spectrum defense against a wide range of threats, including rocket-propelled grenades (RPG), anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) and long rod penetrator threats. When combined, these technologies deliver a substantial increase in protection for troops and equipment. Survivability Solutions - Fact Sheet
Active Protection Systems
Bright Arrow
Bright Arrow is a combined hard and soft kill active protection system (APS) and remote-controlled overhead weapon station. Based on proven Iron Fist sensing, jamming and intercepting technology, Bright Arrow integrates firepower, survivability and situational awareness into one system with weight, volume and power constraints designed specifically for light combat vehicles.
Iron Fist
Designed to protect soldiers and vehicles from anti-armor threats, the Iron Fist rapidly and reliably detects, tracks and neutralizes anti-tank rockets (i.e. RPG), anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), kinetic energy and high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds with two layers of active protection.
Shock Absorber
The Shock Absorber is a man-portable electro-optical soft kill active protection system (APS) for detection and jamming of anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs). This lightweight, man-portable system can be carried by a single soldier in the field and rapidly deployed for infantry missions.
Armor
Bradley Reactive Armor
GDATP in conjunction with Rafael Ordnance and Protection Division has developed a next-generation Reactive Armor for application
on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. This concept in Reactive Armor incorporates state-of-the-art technology, while utilizing an insensitive high-energy explosive. Reactive Armor Skirt System
Stryker Reactive Armor
GDATP in conjunction with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. has developed the light-weight reactive armor tiles for application on Stryker and
other medium/light-weight combat vehicles. Stryker Reactive Armor Tiles (SRAT II) incorporate state-ofthe-art technology, while using an insensitive, high-energy explosive.
Tactical Vehicle Armor
GDATP develops, integrates and manufactures state-of-the-art composite armor and spall liner solutions to protect against a broad spectrum
of threats. The result is superior protection from one of the most reputable names in the defense industry.
Fire Suppression
Delta Advanced Linear Fire / Overheat Detector
This highly accurate system uses two different detection mechanisms, direct exposure and indirect exposure. Delta senses the fire using stainless steel tubing routed to provide optimal coverage and monitoring. The durable and flexible tubing can be located to monitor large compartments or tight spaces.
N2 Inert Gas Generator Fire Suppression System
The N2 Gas Generator is a high-speed nitrogen-based fire suppression system ideal for use in all types of enclosed spaces, including crew compartments, control rooms and engine bays.
The 100 percent nitrogen (N2) gas is non-toxic, environmentally-friendly and safe for occupants of confined areas.
Watermist
Water Mist is a lightweight, cost-effective and environmentally-safe fire suppression technology ideal for armored and off-road vehicles, tanks and naval vessels. The system uses microdroplets of water to extinguish a fire, while providing an immediate cooling effect to prevent reignition.
