Smoke Protection Systems for Land Vehicles are integrated countermeasure suites designed to instantly generate a dense, multi-spectral smoke screen around an armored vehicle (tank, APC, IFV) to break the enemy’s line of sight. These systems typically consist of launcher pods mounted on the vehicle’s turret or hull, containing grenades that produce smoke effective against visual, infrared (IR), and sometimes laser targeting. Activated manually or automatically by laser warning receivers, they provide critical seconds for the vehicle to maneuver to cover, disrupting guided missile locks and concealing its position from direct fire weapons.

  • Vehicle-mounted banks of grenade launchers (usually 4-12 tubes per side).

  • Launches multispectral smoke grenades effective in visual and infrared bands.

  • Often integrated with laser warning systems for automatic activation upon targeting.

  • Provides immediate concealment from both visual observation and thermal sights.

  • A vital hard-kill survivability tool for main battle tanks and armored fighting vehicles.

  • Significantly increases crew survival odds in combat by breaking engagement cycles.
