The system is designed to protect from various munition systems that deliver their attacking threats from above the AFVs like drones and cluster sub-munitions.
Plasan, an Israeli manufacturer specializing in survivability solutions for land, air, and naval platforms in the defense and military sectors, has unveiled its Top Attack Protection System (TAPS). This lightweight add-on is designed to protect armored fighting vehicles (AFVs) from high-angle attacks.
Recent conflicts have highlighted the increasing risk AFVs face from munitions that strike from above, such as drones and cluster sub-munitions. According to the company, TAPS addresses this challenge with its innovative lightweight design.
Designed to complement the kinetic energy protection of AFVs, TAPS offers exceptional top-attack protection with minimal additional weight. Recently approved for field deployment after rigorous testing by various Western armies, TAPS performs reliably even in extreme environmental conditions without any degradation in effectiveness.
Plasan says that TAPS is currently in serial production.
