>The U.S. Army’s Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC), along with its U.S. Army Research Development Engineering Command (RDECOM) partners, selected IMI’s Iron Fist-based Active Protection System (APS) technologies. This will demonstrate an implementation of the TARDEC led RDECOM effort toward Modular Active Protection Systems (MAPS) architecture including connectivity with MAPS central controller and software.
>IMI Systems’ (IMI) Active Protection Systems (APS) approach, in partnership with GD-OTS, increases the self-defense capability of the entire range of armored platforms, from light- and medium-weight Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) to heavy Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs) and Main Battle Tanks (MBTs). The MAPS program seeks to eliminate barriers associated with the US fielding of APS through a modular and safe design that establishes the foundation to transition tailored capability integrated on any platform.

What is this supposed to mean?

This shit isn't new. The Future Combat Systems program in 2003 already had a vehicle with these capabilities, but the funding was stripped.

Are phrases like these designed to impress politicians into buying these vehicles and journalists to write good articles or do the scientists who build these machines really talk like that to each other?

So...tl;dr, they're doing off the shelf stuff to look good instead of using what they built themselves on the shelf.
The good: it's more modular.
The bad: it's not VLS cells.
The ugly: it's directional.
>>30179800
You wrote a lot of words to say you don't understand what those mean.
>>30179803
>The bad: it's not VLS cells.
>>30179800
More like you don't know what they mean, really.
Well, its cheaper than developing another system ourselves when a friendly country has the same thing.
