Abstract

In combat, besides main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles always appear, used to carry infantry on the battlefield and provide fire support. In previous wars, these armored vehicles, such as BMP infantry fighting vehicles and BTR armored personnel carriers, all exhibit major shortcomings in terms of survivability, making it unsafe for the crew and infantry sitting in the vehicle when they stumble on mines and are hit by bullets because they are not equipped with explosive reactive armor to protect the vehicle from concave-piercing bullets. Vietnam's defense industry is conducting research and designing infantry fighting vehicles using domestic resources, so it is essential to research and design a synchronous explosive reactive armor model along with this process. In this article, the authors, based on the information provided about domestically manufactured infantry fighting vehicles, have researched and designed an explosive reactive armor model for this vehicle, capable of resisting anti-tank bullets. Explosive reactive armor is designed in a modular style and can be easily and quickly assembled and disassembled.
