The thesis demonstrates protection solutions that can be suitable for a camp during internationalmissions in order to resist complex threats. The threats could consist of small arms, machineguns,RPG 7, anti armour missiles, mortar, artillery, HPM-weapons, car bombs, biological and chemicalweapons as well as sabotage and theft. It’s not the technology itself that makes the threat scenariocomplex it’s the way the opponent acts during the operations. The opponent acts usually incivilian clothes and therefore he is difficult to distinguish from other civilians. To be able to resistthe complex threat scenario, new solutions of protection need to be suggested for example warningsystems.It’s important to see the protection solutions as a part of the whole camp concept. Amongst otherthings the geographical position of the camp and how the units are deployed in it, affects thepossibility of protection and the need for it. Some protection solutions are usable against severalthreats. A protection solution that involves a rapid establishment with sufficient protection ispreferable, instead of the very best adapted and time-consuming solution.
