Apart from it being an excellent multirole system providing air defence and weapon locating functions, notice the last part? This is not the least exciting.
Passive defense is not something always in the minds of defence enthusiasts when we think about air and missile defence. First thing that comes to minds is active air defence systems like HISAR or SIPER.
However in reality, armed forces are almost never able to field sufficient numbers air defence systems and interceptors to cover the whole front + friendly tactical, operational, and strategic depth to protects the high value rear assets.
Considering the cost disparity between GLMRS type fires and the interceptors required to shoot them down, it is always much easier to saturate the expensive air defence systems with cheap GMLRS at operational ranges.
Thus, for all militaries (including the most advanced ones) passive defense is the primary option when it comes to air and missiles defense. And for the most militaries like BD army, realistically it is the only option most of the time.
Passive AMD is something that includes all measures, other than active AMD, taken to minimize the effectiveness of hostile air and missile threats against friendly forces and assets. I.e. camouflage, concealment, deception (CCD) and dispersion. However these are often not enough.
Here, ALP being able to Generate instant automated alarm by precisely calculating the point of impact could be an excellent layer of passive defence against enemy GMLRS. Which in most cases, as seen in Ukraine-conflict is the workhorse of enemy's
operational fires.
In the scenario we are discussing here, the time is most precious. A M31 type projectile spends 2-3 minutes in the air. Thus the window of taking defensive measures is very short. Existing traditional line of manual communication is never to going to get the alarm to the relevant unit within relevant time. However, an ALP-300G enabled by advanced AI aided comprehensive C4 system that connects all the units down to the sub-tactical level, would get the alarms to the relevant units within matter of seconds without requiring any Manual intervention in the middle, thanks to the high degree of automation. If the targeted units gets the early warning even by 50-60 seconds before the impact, it would save a number of lives, and perhaps even some equipments and hardware in certain circumstances.
