Vehicles like the Humvee, used by the US Army for more than 3 decades gave troops the mobility, however was a high-risk platform in Afghanistan and Iraq. This paved the way to a USD 45 Billion program, which was the Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected. Though the debates about the success of the program continue till date, it is important to note that MRAP has saved more than 40,000 lives according the Government sources. The key reason to scrap the MRAP program was its design, the vehicle would overturn, due to its height. The programs like the Stryker have been successful against IEDs, however any add on armor is a challenge for mobility.
 
The introduction of the Active Protection System (APS) helped the armored vehicle to reduce the armor carried, thereby increasing the mobility. MBT is the major adopted of APS, however it is expected that APC and LAV will also be installed with APS. Israel and Russia were the pioneers in APS, these were installed on the MBT, however in recent years, this technology has been developed by countries like US and a few European Countries. It is also interesting to note that Eastern European countries like the Ukraine have indigenous military armored vehicle programs like the BRT-4.
