Excerpt from Combat Vehicle Active Protection Systems: Hearing Before the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee of the Committee on Armed Services, House of Representatives, One Hundred Ninth Congress, Second Session, Hearing Held September 21, 2006
The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 10:02 a.m. in room 2118, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Curt Weldon (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.
Opening Statement Of Hon. Curt Weldon, A Representative From Pennsylvania, Chairman, Tactical Air And Land Forces Subcommittee
Mr. Weldon. The subcommittee will come to order. Today continuing our high priority placed on providing force protection for our men and women in combat, the subcommittee is holding its sixth hearing on force protection issues. We will receive testimony from Department of Defense (DOD) witnesses on combat vehicle active protection systems (APS), systems designed to protect ground combat vehicles from threats like rocket propelled grenades (RPGs) and anti-tank guided missiles (Atom). This capability has been described to me as a mini missile defense systems. Only instead of a system with 20-to 30 minute timelines, a system with 2-second to 3-second timelines and once armed is without the man-in-the-loop.
Also, because of the proximity of engagements to the defending vehicle, there are associated potential collateral damage considerations. So achieving this capability is not without significant conceptual, technical, and tactical challenges.
In April 2005, Central Command (Centcom) validated a Joint Urgent Operational Needs Statement request from our forces in Iraq for a capability that included a requirement for a fully automated, active protection system against rocket propelled grenades and anti-tank missiles. Initially, the tasking for the Central Command request was assigned by the Joint Rapid Acquisition Cell (Jrac) in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (Osd) to the Office of Force Transformation (Oft) in the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
After conducting a market survey of active protective systems that offered the promise of providing near-term capability, the Office of Force Transformation and other agencies to include the Army, determined that a system called Trophy developed by an Israeli company offered the most promise of providing the required capability. After preliminary testing, the (Office of Force Transformation estimated that the Trophy system could be fielded onto one demonstrator vehicle in the first half of 2007.
