The past thirty years have seen increasingly rapid advances in the field of Active Protection (AP) technics, and it is widely accepted that the AP system will play a marked role in future combat vehicle design, on account of its contribution to increasing vehicles’ viability without the burden of heavy armor. Depends on their concepts, a conventional AP system may consist of various components range from detectors, sensors, controllers, launchers to countermeasures, and what stands out in the AP system design are the inevitable errors derived from each operating session making the engagement results unpredictable, for example the tracking error of sensors, position error of launcher deployment, etc. The modelling method presented in this paper is a useful account of how to evaluate the AP system errors, and estimate the defeat probability of AP system upon the given boundary conditions.
