Military missile vs. missile protection systems

Found on RobotJunkie: http://www.botjunkie.com/2009/12/02/active-protection-systems-think-fast-to-intercept-rpgs/

Two active protection systems that show the rate at which computers can think and act. The first is called Quick Kill and uses radar to detect incoming missiles, then sends a self-orienting missile to detonate in its path. The second is called the Iron Curtain and uses radar and optical sensors to sense RPGs fired at military vehicles. Then missiles mounted on the edges of the vehicle fire downwards at the RPG when it comes close.
