Armored Vechicles

“If it cannot be seen, it cannot be hit”

Modern threats require modern countermeasures while the golden rule of survivability still demands not to be seen and if seen not be engaged.
It’s far better for the warfighter to rely on passive defense layers than being obliged to make use of weapons and active countermeasures.
See the modern battlefield.  Smart munitions.  Unmanned drones.  Infantry soldiers packed with electronic sensors. Armored Vehicles and Tanks on these battlefields will be pitted not only against other tanks and vehicles, but also against unmanned aerial vehicles armed with heat seeking smart missiles and autonomous ground triggered smart munitions.
At the same time, increased guerrilla-based warfare and the predominance of air superiority will mean that the humble tank or Armored vehicle could easily become an easy target.
Obsolete fabric-based solutions such as camouflage nets or covers, are not of this century: heavy, susceptible to tear, cover vehicle’s or weapon systems’ hatches and sensors, demand operator’s attention and soldiers’ valuable time to deploy.
Slow, heavy and insufficient.
