ASPRO-HCombat Proven Hybrid Add-On Armor
Benets
Defeats shaped-charge anti-tank
threats
STANAG level 5 protection
Insensitive Low Burning Rate
(LBR) energetic materials
Easy to install or remove
Maintainance free
Widely used by military forces
around the world
Meets environmental and safety
standards
Deflect advanced shaped-charge weapons and kinetic energy projectiles
Combined Reactive and Passive
Elements
The ASPRO-H system has been
adapted for light armored wheeled
and tracked vehicles. The design
of the add-on armor is based
on Rafael’s modules for the US
Bradley, using the same concept
and technologies to defeat an
incoming threat.
ASPRO-H combines reactive and
passive elements to defend against
a wide range of threats such as anti-
tank rockets at 360o, small arms
14.5 mm AP projectiles or more,
high speed fragments of artillery,
mortar, and high explosive roadside
mines. Upgraded multi-threat
hybrid armor has recently been
developed for diversified protection
requirements. The systems have
been tested and approved for use
by the Israel Defense Forces, the
U.S. Army, and other customers
worldwide. Installation and removal
of the add-on armor modules can
be performed by the crew without
hoisting equipment or special tools.
Robust Protection in Accordance
with Safety Standards
The advanced new energetic
material featuring Low Burning Rate
(LBR) was developed especially for
reactive armor systems and was
classified by US DOT as a very
insensitive detonating substance
in accordance with UN safety
standards. This explosive does
not detonate or burn when hit by
bullets, projectiles, or fragments,
but provides full energy when
hit by the jet of a shaped-charge
warhead. During a reactive
encounter, this explosive causes
much lower environmental and
collateral damage.

ASPRO-HMT (M-TAP): Upgraded,
Proven Multi-Threat Protection
The recently developed ASPRO-
HMT (MTAP) is Rafael’s most
advanced type of hybrid (reactive/
passive) armor protection. ASPRO-
HMT absorbs much of the energy
of an incoming threat, preventing
penetration and possible internal
damage. This new generation multi-
threat armor protection technology
is an upgrade of Rafael’s combat
proven, insensitive reactive armor
system, successfully applied to the
U.S. Bradley, IDF vehicles, and a
variety of NATO armored personnel
carriers. The system has been
intensively tested and demonstrated
its ability to defeat powerful threats.
Concurrently, ASPRO-HMT meets
international environmental and
safety standards.
