  • Publication number: 20140020551
    Abstract: A vehicle protection system for vehicle windows against RPGs, comprising an RPG countermeasure mechanism (an active disruption mechanism that propels an object at an incoming RPG or a static structure) that results in a disabled RPG that cannot explode as a liner shaped charge warhead but can still explode, and a set of transparent panels attached to the vehicle, the panels large enough to cover the windows of the vehicle, the panels of the set of transparent panels inclined relative to an imaginary vertical plane nonnal to a surface that the vehicle rests on by an angle that is between 20, and 40 degrees, the panels made of rigid material, such as PMMA. for absorbing an impact from the disabled RPG so that it never reaches the threshold deceleration needed to explode.
