FV-24 "Valkyrie" Medical Evacuation Vehicle - details (2)
A derivate of the Multifunction Self Protection System (MUSS) is used on the "Valkyrie".
MUSS consists of three main elements: the sensors, consisting of laser warner and a missile warner using ultraviolet sensors, the computer, and the electronic or pyrotechnic countermeasures. When the sensors detect an incoming missile or a laser beam aimed at the vehicle, the computer activates the countermeasures. MUSS offers 360° protection with elevation up to 70° and can handle up to four threats at once.

Furthermore to enhance its survivability, the "Valkyrie" features an electronic countermeasures system, which is in particular radio- and counter-IED-jamming equipment. This second ability eliminates the need for a separate counter-IED-unit in low-intensity conflict zones when the vehicle is part of a convoy or a mechanised patrol
