ADS GmbH and BAE Systems Hägglunds have initiated a cooperation to integrate the Active Armor Concept (AAC), the Swedish version of AMAP-ADS, on the SEP platform. The design goal is to accomplish a highly mobile, light-weight and superiorly protected vehicle.

The integrated concept was demonstrated on the 17^th of April in Sweden and showed an excellent ability to withstand a typical urban warfare scenario in different aspects.

During the demonstration the following attacks were performed:

· Firing with 7.62 as an example of a non-threat (threat rejection)

· Firing with 2 RPG-7 at the same hit point as an example of multi-hit attacks

The attacks were launched at a distance of about 50 m which is typical for short range attacks in urban missions.

The key results can be summarized as follows:

· AMAP-ADS was not activated nor affected by the 7.62 firing

· Both RPG-7 were eliminated by adjacent countermeasures

· Personnel inside the vehicle was not affected

· Measurements inside and outside the vehicle showed that collateral effects were minimal and non-hazardous
