WOW! This is amazing - it's about time that sci-tech worked! If you can't see the video, check it out when you get home - this is truly an awesome piece of technology

Dave, silly question, but could you explain exactly what's happening here? Is this building or perimeter defense?

Holy crap, that's impressive. I assume it's designed to disable bunker-piercing warheads before impact, no? Wouldn't want to be on patrol outside when that happens though.

Yep.  Looks like anti-rpg etc. defense system.  Sensors detect incoming projectile and deploy a counter rocket that intercepts the projectile mid-flight before it impacts and detonates.

Holy shit, dude!  :o

Flares: ineffective

Chaff: ineffective

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

The video is over a year old. Haven't seen anything like this in the sandbox.
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

It's an interception device to intercept incoming weapons fire.

Similar to the Trophy Active Defense System (ADS) developed by RAFAEL which is already in service.

With both M1A1 and Challenger tanks being penetrated by RPG-29 in Iraq and the Merkava getting a major kicking in Lebanon in 2006 it seems this system is well overdue.

Then there are the top attack anti tank missiles which it should stop also.

so the incoming missile didn't hit the target, but the protection system might have blown a couple walls out of the building?  It didn't really show how well the structure survived with and without.
