On the battlefield, modern vehicles perform a variety of roles. Transportation is one most fundamental. Operating in different terrains, including urban areas, means exposing crew to hazards. To increase protection, passive and active protection systems are used. other hand, addition support infantry offensive operations an equally important activity.
