first question :why the reaction time of SAM ,CIWS is much longer compared to hard kill counter measure on MBT ? (like 10-100 times faster) SAM , CIWS have much bigger radar ,bigger computer so shouldn’t they processing information much faster than the defensive system on tank ?
for example :
Kashtan CIWS
6-8 sec reaction time. Kashtan-M: 5-7 sec (3-6 sec according to other sources).
Phalanx Gatling Gun
Reaction time: 2 seconds from threat detection
S-300P
Reaction time 28 seconds

Tor missile system
The reaction time of the original Tor is 7-8 (standard) / 7-10 (if it is in motion) seconds
Arena (Russian: ) is an active protection system
The computer has a reaction time of 0.05 seconds 
The AMAP is an advanced countermeasure defense system
The system has a reaction time of 0.6 milliseconds to counter multiple incoming threats
————————————–
second question
since the computer on tank able to react so fast , do you think it it possible to program fighter to be able to automatic maneuver away from incoming bullets ray if the systems detect bullet got too close and pilot unaware of that (because it impossible to know when enemy open fire )? (assume that aircraft have IR or radar sensor cover 360 degree around it and a central computer)
