Active Protection System (APS) "Ranger"
Just hot glue it to your creation and then be protected against those who wish to destroy your vehicle. It defends against missiles traveling less than 200 mph and that are detectable by radar. It has two shots (fires two rounds per target) and does not currently poses any automatic reloading system so your limited to just those four rounds. It defends at point blank range so I HIGHLY recommend you stay away from the system while its active lest you wish to be turned into a fine gooey paste on the floor…
How it works-
It sees a target
It determines if its going at your vehicle
It tracks the target until it is within firing range
It fires two unguided explosive rockets at each side of the incoming projectile and then detonates when parallel with the target to insure optimal destruction.
Important note:
This system is designed to defend against missiles/rockets and not anything else atm. ( so mortars and anything small and hard to see via radar is not able to be defended against). This system is subject to change/improvement.
I really only tested this against one missile so im not entirely sure if it is able to defend against a wide range of missiles, and while it does detonate two explosives on each side of the incoming target it is still entirely possible the kinetic energy of the projectile will still allow for an impact which can cause some minor damage, (in these cases I’ve found the damage to be minor and easily repairable if any.). This version is very large and as such is suited primarily for larger vehicles.
If you use this and decide to upload the creation please credit my work.
