[ What is claimed is:] [1.] Arrangement for protecting an active armored object having an exterior surface against attack by sensor controlled armor piercing projectiles with twin shaped charges and proximity sensor comprising inflatable hollow members mounted on the exterior surface of said object

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] Arrangement for protecting an active armored object having an exterior surface against attack by sensor controlled armor piercing projectiles with twin shaped charges and proximity sensor comprising inflatable hollow members mounted on the exterior surface of said object in spaced relation and forming at least one of decoy targets and concealment means, wherein the improvement comprises that said hollow members (10) include a plurality of individual sections (11) located within a housing (12), means connected to said housing for inflating said individual sections with gases at different temperatures for forming a "screening mushroom" projecting outwardly from the exterior surface of said object, said individual sections are arranged in series within said housing one following the other so that said individual sections are inflated one at a time, said individual sections each comprise an inflatable foil forming a shielding portion (11a) and a distance portion (11b) extending outwardly from the exterior surface of said object and located behind said shielding portion, said inflating means comprises a gas generation system connected to said housing, an evacuation valve connected to said individual sections for evacuating an inflated said individual section, and a cut-off device associated with said housing for cutting off said individual section from said housing following inflation.
