Tanks and armored vehicles are facing increasingly diverse threats on the battlefield. Active Protection System (APS) can apparently enhance the protection capability of tanks without reducing mobility. The principle of active protection technology is introduced, and particularly the performance of radar detection subsystem and intercepting ammunition subsystem are analyzed. Moreover, the application status of APS is elaborated and the current level and main deficiency are dissected. Furthermore, the probable development trends of APS are listed.
