The Battle of Interception: How APS Transforms Modern Warfare
Active Protection Systems (APS) are revolutionizing combat by utilizing advanced radar and sensors to detect incoming threats like missiles. Once a danger is identified, these systems spring into action, deploying countermeasures such as explosive charges and interceptor projectiles. However, while APS excels at neutralizing missiles, it falters against rapid-firing autocannons, highlighting a crucial vulnerability in modern defense strategies. This shift in capabilities is redefining the landscape of warfare, necessitating new tactics and technologies to counter evolving threats.
