Projeto conceitual de um sistema de ataque anticarro

Abstract

Conventional and current antitank missiles have all been reported to have limited capabilities against armored vehicles equipped with modern defensive systems defensive aids suites (DAS). This is especially the case for Israeli Merkava Mk IV main battle tank equipped with the Trophy ASPRO-A DAS system and also for Russian main battle tanks equipped with the Arena System. Due to these limitations, this paper aims to elaborate a conceptual design of an antitank attack system, aiming at penetration in these modern DAS defensive systems, in addition to the neutralization of the main battle tank. A saturation system with rocket launch is proposed to overcome the active protection of the Trophy system, or similar, according to the data obtained in the literature of countermeasures that it has. Through historical data from current antitank guided missiles, an antitank missile capable of penetrating the explosive reactive armor of the main battle tank is proposed.
