While the “survivability onion” concept remains valid in terms of sequence if seen from the attacker’s standpoint, see – acquire – hit – penetrate – kill, looking at survivability from the defender’s standpoint brings in other elements that are not necessarily linked to the vehicle, such as intelligence and training, while many others may impact survivability in different ways.

In the meantime, Happy New Year! Back in the days of the Cold War there were few places as peaceful – silent – as a military unit in the field, after dark. Exhausted soldiers made for a quiet life, and vehicles running on batteries made little noise. It was only somewhat spoiled by a Rapier detachment nearby, generator screaming away to keep the system powered up. In the foreseeable future, even in the same environment, things will be different.

Por consiguiente, me gustaría agradecer en unas pocas palabras a todas aquellas personas que me han ayudado a alcanzar este objetivo, pues sin ellos no habría sido posible. En primer lugar, dar las gracias a todos aquellos profesores que me ayudaron a sacar adelante las complicadas asignaturas por las que todo cadete tiene que pasar. En segundo lugar, agradecer a mis dos profesores asignados como tutores, la Doctora Patricia Sánchez Martín y al Capitán D. Manuel Jesús Caro Avalos, todas sus supervisiones, correcciones y orientaciones a lo largo de estos dos últimos meses, sin ellos la realización del presente trabajo no habría sido posible. También querría agradecer al Capitán D. Ignacio Navarro García toda la información, conocimientos y orientaciones aportados sobre los sistemas de protección activa, pues han permitido mejorar considerablemente la comprensión de los mismos. En tercer lugar, dar las gracias al coronel D. Diego Escribano Bernal y al Doctor Andrés Cosialls Ubatch por sus consejos y recomendaciones aportadas durante los primeros pasos de la realización del trabajo, así como, toda la información que me facilitaron.
