Rocket Grenade Destroyed In Flight By Quick Kill Defense System – Video

The US ARMY has been tinkering with their Future Combat System for quite some time. They’ve just demonstrated a successful test of one of it’s components: The Quick Kill vehicle defense system.

Here’s how it works: The Raytheon system uses an electronically-scanned radar array to detect any incoming anti-tank rocket-propelled grenades, then launches a countermeasure missile that blows the grenade to bits in mid-flight. Shades of Reagan’s Star Wars program, only real and according to the video in perfect working order. Take a gander at the destruction!
