The survivability of a vehicle is not the sum of the various protection systems available, but more the smart integration of all those components to use the quintessence of their characteristics, as illustrated in this BAE graph. While the "survivability onion" concept remains valid in terms of sequence if seen from the attacker's standpoint, see - acquire - hit - penetrate - kill, looking at survivability from the defender's standpoint brings in other elements that are not necessarily linked to the vehicle, such as intelligence and training, while many others may impact survivability in different ways.
