Quick Kill
Quick Kill is an active protection system (APS) designed to destroy incoming anti-tank missiles, rockets, and grenades. The Quick Kill system is designed and produced by Raytheon for the U.S. Army. The Quick Kill system was part of the United States Army's Future Combat Systems.
==Design==
Quick Kill detects incoming RPGs and anti-tank missiles with an active electronically scanned array radar. Once its speed, trajectory, and intercept point are computed, Quick Kill vertically launches a small countermeasure missile. This kind of system is similar to the one that the Israeli Army uses for its ground forces. The system features two types of missiles: a smaller one for defense against close range weapons such as RPGs, and another, larger one to intercept longer range, faster anti-tank missiles or shells.〔("'Quick Kill' Active protection System to Protect Current, Future Combat Vehicles" ), Defense Update, Online Defense Magazine. Retrieved 2010-10-14.〕 The countermeasure missile interceptes the incoming threat and destroys it with a focused blast warhead. The Quick Kill missile has 360-degree capability and a reload capability, with each launcher typically containing 8 to 16 missiles. It can be used stationary or on the move with a wide range of vehicles from armored personnel carriers to airborne helicopters. The system's vertical launch countermeasure is unique in its ability to engage threats fired from any angle or elevation, providing all weather, full 360-degree hemispherical vehicle and crew protection with each countermeasure. The system has demonstrated its ability to defeat multiple threat types by defeating two simultaneous threats.〔(Quick Kill Active Protection System defeats one of the most lethal armor-piercing Rocket Propelled Grenades ) - Raytheon press release, January 9, 2013〕
It was reported that the Humvee or JLTV would not be suitable for the Quick Kill APS, due to the blast pressures generated when the incoming warhead detonates, which was likely to buckle lightly armored vehicles.〔(“Active Protection” Speeds Up. ), Defense Tech, Updated 2006-03-15.
