<h2>MISSION</h2><p>The BRENUS add-on Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) enables to improve the combat survivability of armored vehicles against attack from missiles, anti-tank rockets and top attack grenades.BRENUS provides protection against HEAT and kinetic energy attack with a weight nine times lighter than its steel equivalent.It is remarkably insensitive to accidental battleﬁeld incidents and attacks.</p><h2>TECHNICAL DATA</h2><p>BRENUS reactive modules provide a protection equivalent to 400 mm of RHA steel against anti-tank guided missiles and unguided rockets.BSG2 bricks and U12 boxes provide protection against HE shells, while increasing resistance against attack  by medium caliber weapons.BSG3 bricks provide protection against top attack grenades.The BRENUS explosive reactive modules do not explode when subjected to accidental battleﬁeld attack such as ﬁre, bullet impact (14.5 mm and 20 mm armour piercing) or a Molotov cocktail.There is no sympathetic detonation when one explosive reactive module is hit, thus providing excellent residual protection. STANAG 4439 IM assessment is in progress. The BRENUS explosive reactive modules are labelled MURAT*(according to French IM policy) by the French Ministry of Defense.The installation and removal of the BRENUS modules  is easy and does not require any special tools.  Its modular design facilitates installation on all vehicles, as a function of mission requirements.  Added protection kits have been developed for the AMX-30B2, M48, M60 and T-72 MBTs and for the M113, BMP-3 and CV90 light armored vehicles.</p>
