British Army Boxer armoured vehicle displayed with anti-RPG net
A British Army Boxer armoured vehicle was displayed with an AmSafe anti-rocket-propelled-grenade net, illustrating a lightweight option for added protection against shaped-charge threats. The flexible barrier is designed to disrupt an incoming RPG before its warhead functions correctly against the vehicle's main armour. Compared with rigid cages, net systems can reduce weight and ease replacement while preserving access around the hull. The display demonstrates a possible configuration rather than confirmed fleetwide adoption, and protection effectiveness, integration, durability, maintenance, and effects on sensors or mobility would require formal assessment.
