, or the Advanced Protection for Scorpion Tanks Project was a project designed to increase the survivability of the scorpion tank. After the inefficiency of the armor of the tank at the Battle of Reach, the project was created. After the end of the Human-Covenant War, with the advances in technology brought by the Sanghieli, the final system was implemented. The system consisted of several strategically placed plasma emitters designed to counter projectile weapons, as well as some recessed bubble shields giving Human Scorpions and Sanghieli Wraiths approximately 3o seconds of near invulnerability. A follow-on project was immediately launched to increase the amount of time the system could remain active for, though results are still pending. A modified version was available for Pelicans and Phantoms.
