Introduction

Update "Wind of Change" added active protection systems (APS) to the ground vehicles. These devices provide defense against ATGM. It can either be by destroying the incoming missile or by jamming the guidance system.

Systems by Country

USA

AN/VLQ-8A

It is a IRCM type jammer.

Germany

MUSS

MUSS (Multifunktionales Selbstschutz-System, engl. Multifunction Self Protection System) is a IRCM softkill APS. When a laser is pointed at the vehicle MUSS will pop smoke grenades to make laser guidance harder. Against other ATGM it will use IR light to confuse the targeting system of the attacker.
