China North Industries Corporation on August 16, 2017"Armor vs. Anti-Armor Day"The GL5 was shown for the first time at the eventTank armored vehiclesactive protection system, and conducted tests of live interception firing of anti-RPG bazookas with complete success. This result has enabled China to successfully enter the five major teams of Russia, the United States, Germany, Ukraine and IsraelState monopolyof"worldTanksActive Protective Systems Club", will ChinaMain battle tanksThe protection technology has been pushed to the world's leading level.
The GL5 active protection system is a system that obtains the movement characteristics of incoming munitions through detection devices and controls countermeasures through computers, so that incoming munitions cannot directly hit the protected targets. The active protection system can be divided into hard kill (active) type, soft kill (countermeasure) type and soft and hard kill (comprehensive) type according to the different confrontation modes. The hard-kill protection system destroys the incoming ammunition by firing interceptor munitions, and the soft-kill protection system makes the incoming munitions unable to hit the target by means such as casting smoke or projectile jamming decoy bombs, while the soft-hard killing type is the comprehensive application of jamming and hard-kill means.
The GL5 active protection system consists of 4 phased array antennas and 4 groups of interceptor missile launchers, which are respectively installedTanksFront and rear sides of the turret. The whole system is compact, compact, lightweight, occupies little space in the vehicle, and does not require large-scale modifications to the vehicle. Each set of antennas and transmitters is responsible for a 90° sector, covering a 360° area. The detection elevation angle is 20°, covering most of the incoming attacksMissilesShellsRocketsangle of attack. Each group of launchers has 3 bombs in reserve, and has the ability to intercept multiple waves of anti-aircraftTanksThe ability to attack.

In addition, the successful research and development of the GL5 active protection system also shows the progress and innovation ability of the company. In the past, China wasTanksThe field of active protection systems is relatively backward and relies on imports, but through independent research and development and innovation, China has successfully filled this technological gap and improved its domestic developmentTanksThe overall level of technology.
