Textron sets its TRAPS for defeat of RPGs
Article Abstract:
The Tactical rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) Airbag Protection System (TRAPS) is expected to protect against heavier tandem warheads carried by anti-tank missiles as well as the shaped-charge warheads delivered by shoulder-fired rocket systems such as the Russian RPG-7V and its derivatives. TRAPS was initially formulated as an Independent Research and Development project by Innovative Survivability Technologies (IST), which was taken over by Textron in July 2006.
