Does anyone have more info on the GL5 Active Protection System? So far it seems to have been trialed on a ZTZ-96 and is being offered on the VT4. I have only found renders of the later.

 

Specifications: The GL5 is a Hard-Kill APS developed by Norinco and revealed in 2018. The system features four millimeter-wave radars and four 3-shot interceptor launchers (a simillar configuration to the Trophy system). The system can cover 360º on the horizontal plane and 20º on the vertical. Threats can be detected up to 100 meters away, with interception occuring arround 10 meters away from the tank.

I've also read rumors of it being offered on the ZTZ-99 and on light vehicles, but the VT4 seems to be the only platform it's been advertised for.

 

Does anyone have any more info?
