Advanced Effect and Protection System AEPS
(Bofors Defense)
A technology demonstrator of the Advanced Effect and Protection
System, designed to protect ground targets from cruise missile
attacks, was shown by Bofors Defense AB at Eurosatory 2004. Similar
to the BONUS target scanner, the AEPS
uses fast rotation to scan for targets, and once detected, it
activates a directional warhead to destroy it with its large
fragmentation charge. While AEPS can be used against a wide range of
targets, its main goal is to provide the last line of defense over
sensitive targets, protecting them from precision weapons and cruise
missile attacks.
