Some additional sources to MUSS 2.0:
New MUSS 2.0 laser based jammer is capable of defeting IR-guided atgms
=>
Additional information about MUSS 1.0: “The jammer of current generation MUSS is proven to be effective against optically tracked wire-guided, jam resistant 2nd and 3rd generation (those guided by IR seeker) missiles, laser target designated (LDT) guided munitions and laser range finder threats”
More information about threat detection and classification capabilitys: "The MUSS 2.0 will be able to detect the latest laser threats, including the second-generation laser range finder, as well as laser beam riding missile guidance, both continual wave (CW) and pulsed. Being able to detect and then classify beam riding missiles is a key threat identifying capability. "

MUSS 2.0 will consist laser dazzling to dazzle laser beam riding missiles, altough in newer articels they call it laser based jamming

let us hope the leak list are trues

Another article on MUSS 2.0 was published today (unfortunately only in German again).
It describes how Hensoldt, together with the Frauenhofer Institute, has developed a prototype of an acoustic sensor module to supplement the existing sensors. This consists of 120 microphones with a size in the millimetre range. It should be able to precisely locate various hazards. The muzzle blast and the sound of breaking through the sound barrier, as well as the noise of drone engines, were explicitly mentioned.
A database will then be used to identify the threat and suggest the most effective countermeasure.
It should be commercially availible in about two years.
The new laser-based IR jammer without visual protection was also shown. The lowest segment is the new acustic module.

Gaijin ruined PUMA S1 in dev server with old MUSS, even without Dedrone RF-300 C-UAS.

Well its not the Puma S1 in the dev. Its the PUMA Vjtf.
Then they are should rename it then.
Its called PUMA VJTF in the dev.
Yeah the leaks were wrong about it being the PUMA S1. Unless they plan on adding a module upgrade that makes it into PUMA S1 which would make sense since the only upgrades for the S1 is MUSS 2 and new Spikes.

That makes a lot more sense. The puma in the dev looks nothing like this one
The Puma in this configuration with MUSS 2.0 and the turret-independent grenade launcher was shown for the first time ever 1.5 months ago.
It was not yet clear what this version would look like.
And since it can be assumed that updates are planned many months or even a year in advance, it should come as no surprise to anyone that such a new version is not added to the game less than 2 months after the first images were published. Especially when you consider how many bugs the original version of the Puma still has
Let’s hope that’s really true this time.
Unfortunately, with standard atgms it will most likely still only be wire-guided atgms without IRCCM, although the source I found explicitly states that MUSS 1.0 is effective against optically tracked wire-guided, jam resistant 2nd and 3rd generation (those guided by IR seeker) missiles. So also TOW 2A and 2B.
I also wonder whether laser beam riding missiles count as standard atgms or laser guided.
laser beam riding means its laser guided
Yes, but I can still hope that they only mean SAL with laser guided :/
afaik MUSS 2.0 cant counter beam riding altough hendsolt has been working on making it counter beam riding i havent seen yet any sign of it countering beam riding missiles
calling it, MUSS 3.0 will fire targeted EMP blasts to fry the electronic components of incoming missiles/warheads

Is MUSS 2.0 much smaller or is it just the camera angle in the pictures above?
