To answer to these massive attacks, the automotive field has evolved beyond plain ceramic, steel plates that protect vehicles against artillery fragments, bullets, etc. APS (active protection systems) helps in boosting passive armor by demolishing missiles and RPGs, before it causes any damage to the targets.
APS program
Vehicle safety is one of the leading technologies of this plan combined with autonomous systems, maneuver robotics, directed energy weapons, and power management and generation. The program of Army Futures Command is making new tanks, armored personnel carrier, fighting vehicle, and robotic vehicles.

It safeguards the person from any gunshot or advanced rifle attacks.
Benefits
