The need for self-protection and timely briefing of friendly forces today is an important business pursuit and a significant multiplier. This thesis aims at identifying the requirement for an integrated self-protection system adaptable to terrestrial, marine or aerial means and ground facilities with a built-in tactical command and control system. Describes the basic characteristics and technical features that must be met to satisfy the friendly Armed Forces in the modern battlefield. Initially, the modern warfare in which they will act is analyzed. The description describes both the types of threats consisting of detection sensors and weapon guidance and systems installed on terrestrial, marine or aerial weapon systems and directed weapons. Furthermore, in the thesis are listed and evaluated the modern means of observation, identification, tracking and guidance, weapon and weapon systems that are controlled by IR, Laser, Radar, and GPS, launched from different platforms. It also analyzes the technology on which IR, Radar, Laser systems are based and the technique required for their mission. Describes how to reduce the effectiveness of rival weapon systems (Heat, Acoustic & Radar Reduction trap, deflection of the weapon, timely reaction and avoidance, deception or destruction), and an estimate of the expected effectiveness in the battlefield is made.
