RPGNets

Program Manager: Dr. Karen Wood

Overview

The goal of the RPGNets program is to apply a rigorous scientific approach to the characterization of the interactions of special high-capability nets to dud, break, or otherwise disable rocket propelled grenades (RPGs).  This program builds upon observed, but not well understood, capabilities of certain nets to disable RPGs in field tests and will provide models supplemented by high-precision experiments that characterize net performance and allow determination of optimal net systems for both ground vehicles and helicopters.  The defined net systems will be tested in an extensive live fire program.  If successful, they will be incorporated into defensive systems currently under development as a low-cost, low collateral damage RPG defense mechanism.
