The domestically produced GL6 active protection system adopts a tracking layout, which can flexibly adjust the azimuth and elevation angles according to the direction and angle of the incoming target, enabling it to effectively counter ground and air-arriving anti-armour munitions with a very high hit rate.

With the GL6 active protection system, the survivability of domestic tanks and armoured vehicles has been significantly improved.

Of course, the active protection system intercepts threats through high-explosive fragmentation, so it mainly targets various types of anti-armour munitions with shaped charge warheads. Its ability to intercept kinetic energy penetrators is relatively weaker.
