At Eurosatory 2026 in Paris, Army Recognition Defense Web TV interviews Plasan to discuss how the company is developing new protection technologies against mines, drones, and top-attack threats reshaping modern armored warfare.
Plasan presents two new survivability solutions: an active underbelly protection system designed to reduce mine blast injuries to vehicle crews, and TAPS, a Top Attack Protection System created to defeat drone-dropped shaped-charge bomblets.
The underbelly protection system uses sensors to detect a mine detonation. It activates seat movement to lift the soldier’s legs before the blast effect reaches the vehicle floor, reducing injury risk while limiting the need for heavy additional armor.
Plasan’s TAPS uses lightweight polymeric spikes on the roof of armored vehicles to disrupt shaped-charge jet formation from above, offering protection against drone-delivered bomblets without adding the heavy weight of traditional armor.
The interview highlights how armored vehicle protection is shifting from simply adding more material to smarter, lighter, and more active survivability solutions adapted to drone warfare and high-intensity battlefield threats.
Army Recognition continues exclusive coverage from Eurosatory 2026 with interviews, defense technology analysis, and reports on the systems shaping future land warfare.
