WASHINGTON \u2014 Defense contractor Artis is unveiling an active protection system it says addresses a gap the U.S. Army and other forces are looking to fill: the defense of attacks from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service years ago evaluated the company\u2019s Iron Curtain<\/a> active protection system for combat vehicles but never adopted the technology. Now, Artis is presenting its Sentinel third-generation APS that the firm said is able to defeat so-called top-attack threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artis said has it demonstrated the Sentinel can protect vehicles and infrastructure from nearly all direct-fire threats, including tank-fired rounds, anti-tank guided missiles, rocket-propelled grenades and loitering munitions \u2014 otherwise known as exploding drones, which target vehicles and infantry alike, often with deadly effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army launched an effort in 2016 to rapidly field interim solutions to protect Abrams tanks, Stryker combat vehicles and the Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. The service pursued options through a demonstration phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army had selected Iron Curtain as an interim protection system in 2017 for the Stryker but decided against fielding the system after the testing and demonstration phase in 2018<\/a>. Service leaders said at the time <\/a>that while Iron Curtain worked in concept, it would take too much time and money to mature the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Virginia-based business has spent 20 years refining and expanding a capability versatile enough to handle nearly all threats to combat vehicles, including top-attack threats, long before the war in Ukraine and the use of loitering munitions highlighted the need for such robust protection<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can the Sentinel do?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The Army did not require any active protection system under consideration as an interim solution address threats from above; the service was solely focused on protecting the sides of tanks and vehicles. But leadership has turned to addressing top-attack threats upon seeing their proliferation in the Russia-Ukraine war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artis\u2019 developed its first design for top-attack protection through a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency around 2008, the company\u2019s president, Keith Brendley, told Defense News. The company has since continued work on the design through investors. But Sentinel\u2019s capability gained significant traction through a contract with the Army\u2019s Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office, awarded shortly after the service rejected Iron Curtain for the Stryker, he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artis concluded its work with the office in June 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe focus wasn\u2019t on top-attack; it was on sabot rounds and chain gun threats,\u201d Brendley said of the company\u2019s work with the Army office. \u201cSo not only can Sentinel defeat top-attack threats, but we can also defeat tank-fired rounds, sabot rounds, things of that nature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabot rounds are metal rods that can pierce armor and explode, spraying metal shards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developing technology to defeat threats like chain gun rounds is challenging and requires a set of sensors, radars and highly lethal projectiles, according to Brendley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSentinel is an affordable APS solution that provides substantial multi-shot protection, excellent minimum-range performance, and very low collateral damage, which make[s] it ideal for both wide-open terrain and close-in urban warfare,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the Sentinel, he added, packs a punch \u201cmany, many times more\u201d than the Iron Curtain. Users of the Sentinel can also steer its munitions, making instantaneous adjustments based on sensor data, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design also allows the countermeasures to shoot up or down \u2014 or at other angles \u2014 he added, and are not required to be situated on the vehicle in very close proximity to a sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arrangement allows for the countermeasures to be distributed around the vehicle, Brendley added. \u201cI think the remarkable difference is in how you can configure the system,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can use different sensors, which we are. And No. 2, the countermeasures don\u2019t have to cantilever far from the vehicle. They can be right up against the vehicle, then fire out at an angle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the Army interested?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The Army\u2019s way ahead for active protection systems for its fleet of combat vehicles is unclear.<\/a> The service installed the Trophy APS, made by Israel\u2019s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, on M1 Abrams tank fielded in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those tanks have operated on the continent over the last three years, <\/a>but even that setup has proved challenging. Maj. Gen. Glenn Dean, the Army\u2019s program executive officer for ground combat systems, told Defense News in the fall that it\u2019s \u201ca little bit of a challenge to operate and really deploy and sustain it because installation on tanks is a little bit of a burden.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army has also long held that Iron Fist, an APS capability from Israeli firm Elbit Systems<\/a>, is right for the Bradley vehicle. But technical issues first prevented its fielding, and the program has not received the funding to move into production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army has evaluated other options for Stryker but hasn\u2019t moved forward on any program <\/a>to outfit the vehicle with protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service is \u201cworking continuously on our ability to defeat hemispheric threats all around the vehicle against a range of threats with a range of technical approaches, so not looking for one system that is one-size-fits-all and does everything. But beyond that I\u2019m not going to go into any more detail,\u201d Dean told Defense News in the fall, noting the information is classified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brendley said he gets the feeling the Army is \u201cvery prudent and cautious\u201d in how it decides which APS to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artis has been demonstrating the Sentinel\u2019s capability at a West Virginia range. In addition to talking with the Army, the company is also showing its technology to prime contractors building various platforms that could benefit from active protection, Brendley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added there is international interest for the Sentinel, particularly in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe APS market is like any other market. If you take a look at emerging markets, automobiles or smartphones, what have you, the markets are always there, but they didn\u2019t materialize until the right product came along,\u201d Brendley said, \u201cand we think we have the right product. I think the market is going to respond to that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
