Orbital ATK Test Fired Hit-to-kill Anti RPG Helicopter Active Protection System


Launched from a fixed ALE-47 Countermeasures Dispense System, the HAPS Kill Vehicle (KV) was able to perform pitch maneuvers and fly to a detonation point that simulated the location of an incoming rocket-propelled grenade (RPG).

The HAPS system consists of an Engagement Management Module, a slightly-modified Counter Measures Dispense System, such as the ALE-47, and the KVs that launch from the counter-measures dispenser.


If it works for helicopters, you can bet it can for tanks.  Whoa nelly then!
