1. A method, comprising: detecting a threat incoming to a vehicle, the vehicle having a plurality of countermeasures including a primary armament and an active protection system; communicating the detected threat to a controller;activating, with the controller, a first sensor in response to the detecting, the first sensor tracking the incoming threat and generating tracking data;routing, with the controller, the tracking data to a plurality of fire control processors, each of the plurality of fire control processors being associated with a respective one of the plurality of countermeasures and being configured to compute respective firing solutions using the tracking data; anddetermining, with the controller, a preferred countermeasure out of the plurality of countermeasures with which to counter the incoming threat. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of countermeasures includes a secondary armament. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the primary armament is a turret-based armament configured to fire explosive rounds containing shrapnel. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the preferred countermeasure is based at least in part on the tracking data. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: authorizing firing of the preferred countermeasure using the firing solution associated with the preferred countermeasure. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the active protection system includes an interceptor launcher configured to launch explosive interceptors. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising: activating a second sensor in response to the detecting, the second sensor tracking the incoming threat and generating further tracking data; wherein the routing the tracking data includes routing the further tracking data. 8. A threat countering system, the system comprising: a first sensor configured to detect an incoming threat and generate tracking data associated with the incoming threat;a plurality of countermeasures including a primary armament and an active protection system;a plurality of fire control processors, each of the plurality of fire control processors being associated with a respective one of the plurality of countermeasures and being configured to compute respective firing solutions using the tracking data; anda controller coupled to the first sensor and the plurality of fire control processors, the controller configured to receive the detected incoming threat and determine a preferred countermeasure out of the plurality of countermeasures with which to counter the incoming threat. 9. The threat countering system of claim 8, wherein the plurality of countermeasures includes a secondary armament. 10. The threat countering system of claim 8, wherein the primary armament is a turret-based armament configured to fire explosive rounds containing shrapnel. 11. The threat countering system of claim 8, wherein the controller is further operable to determine the preferred countermeasure based at least in part on the tracking data. 12. The threat countering system of claim 8, wherein the controller is further operable to authorize firing the preferred countermeasure. 13. The threat countering system of claim 8, wherein the active protection system includes an interceptor launcher configured to launch explosive interceptors. 14. A threat countering system, the system comprising: a first sensor configured to detect an incoming threat and generate tracking data associated with the incoming threat;an active protection system; anda controller coupled to the first sensor and active protection system and operable to receive the tracking data from the first sensor and determine a preferred countermeasure from a plurality of countermeasures with which to counter the incoming threat;wherein the plurality of countermeasures includes the active protection system and a primary armament,wherein the controller is further operable to route the tracking data to a plurality of fire control processors, each of the plurality of fire control processors being associated with a respective one of the plurality of countermeasures; andwherein the plurality of fire control processors are operable to simultaneously compute a respective firing solution for each of the plurality of countermeasures using the tracking data. 15. The threat countering system of claim 8, further comprising: a second sensor coupled to the controller and configured to generate further tracking data associated with the incoming threat; wherein the controller is further operable to receive the further tracking data. 16. A threat countering system, the system comprising: a controller including a processor and a memory; a passive sensor operable to detect muzzle flash indicative of a launch of an incoming threat;a sensor system configured to generate tracking data associated with the incoming threat;an active protection system; andsoftware stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the controller to perform operations comprising: receiving an indication from the passive sensor of an incoming threat;activating the sensor system such that the sensor system generates tracking data associated with the incoming threat;receiving tracking data from the sensor system;determining a preferred countermeasure out of a plurality of countermeasures with which to counter the incoming threat, the plurality of countermeasures including the active protection system and a primary armament of a vehicle;authorizing firing of the preferred countermeasure; androuting the tracking data from the sensor system to a plurality of fire control processors, each of the plurality of fire control processors being associated with a respective one of the plurality of countermeasures, and the plurality of fire control processors simultaneously computing a respective firing solution for each of the plurality of countermeasures using the tracking data. 17. The threat countering system of claim 16, wherein the determining a preferred countermeasure is based at least in part on the tracking data. 18. The threat countering system of claim 16, wherein the primary armament is a turret-based armament configured to fire explosive rounds containing shrapnel. 19. The threat countering system of claim 16, wherein the active protection system includes an interceptor launcher configured to launch explosive interceptors.
