What happens when briefed technology, defense policy, and real-world warfighting meet on a single topic?

This book captures a 2006 U.S. House hearing that examines combat vehicle active protection systems, including how they defend tanks and other vehicles from RPGs and anti-tank missiles. It explains the goals, challenges, and timelines involved in bringing near-term protection to the field, using TROPHY as a focal point of discussion.

Two short, clear sections frame the debate: what the military needs, what technology can deliver, and how decisions affect schedules and safety. The content includes statements from experts, questions from lawmakers, and details on testing, risk, and the balance between rapid fielding and reliable protection.
What you’ll experience

An overview of active protection concepts and why they matter for force protection
A look at the decision process behind fielding and delaying systems like TROPHY
Summaries of test results, safety assessments, and power and integration considerations
Insight into how Congress and the Defense Department evaluate near-term capabilities

Ideal for readers interested in defense policy, military technology, and how government hearings translate complex engineering into real-world decisions.
