Forgive me if this has been covered already. I was reading about the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and was interested about the reactive armor it can employ. Basically, and this is a simplified explanation, it has large plates filled with an explosive covering the vehicle. When a projectile hits the plate, it is detonated outside the vehicle lessening the damage. Would this be a possible system to be employed by future military versions? I was not sure if the center of gravity would be an issue. The BFV is pretty low to the ground and would not be apt to tip as easily as a result of an explosion. Is this a viable possibility?
