Can armor survive the drone age? The U.S. Army is betting $108 million they can.
On today’s battlefield, a cheap drone can destroy a $10 million tank. That’s why the Army is shifting from heavy armor to layered defense—radar-guided interceptors, roof-mounted sensors, stealth coatings, and even lasers. In this video, we break down what the Army’s new Vehicle Protection Suite includes, how systems like MAPS and Iron Fist work, and whether any of this tech can actually keep tanks alive in a world of drone swarms and loitering munitions.
