- 4. Protection • MOD has a requirement to protect ALL of its equipment in ALL current operations at ALL times • This is a logistical burden • Protection systems need to be: – smaller – lighter – lower consumption of power – cheaper – in general, they need to reduce the burden on MOD © Crown copyright 2013 Dstl 25 June 2014

- 7. Enduring challenges (1) • Improvements in protection have long been linked to improvements to protective materials • This is important but there are several other areas to consider • New methods of protection – defeat mechanisms? – disrupter technology? – overlooked areas of physics? OFFICIAL© Crown copyright 2013 Dstl 25 June 2014
- 8. Enduring challenges (2) • Novel techniques or uses of modelling and simulation – Can we predict performance of materials and systems more efficiently or more accurately? • Development of novel active systems – Can we use protection methods that sense and ‘switch on’ when required? – Can we detect effectiveness or vulnerability in our protection systems? © Crown copyright 2013 Dstl 25 June 2014
- 9. Enduring challenges (3) • Cost of ownership (TLCM, DLODs) – Can we consider the lifecycle of the armour system and reduce the overall cost? – Purchase price – Maintenance – Repair – Packaging and transportation costs – Storage © Crown copyright 2013 Dstl 25 June 2014
- 10. Enduring challenges (4) • Protection needs to be considered as a ‘system’ be that a vehicle, a fleet, or a complete operation • Generic Vehicle Architecture – Increased flexibility and adaptability in the field – Can we create protection systems that are interoperable fleet wide? – Can we share our protection systems with our allies? © Crown copyright 2013 Dstl 25 June 2014
- 11. Enduring challenges (5) • Disposal of systems – How can we ensure information about protections systems is not compromised if left on operations? – Can we deny access to this information more easily or more cleverly? – Can we make disposal methods more effective and create less of a burden? © Crown copyright 2013 Dstl 25 June 2014
