It stops RPGs and other rockets before it gets to the srs bsns armor. The projectile thinks that it has hit the vehicle and it explodes several inches from the actual armor, which is much, much less harmful than exploding right up against it (usually most or all of the force is shot forward. When up against the armor, all of that force goes straight into the armor. When it is a few inches from the armor, the gases have some space to spread out over a larger area, and there is regular air that the expanding gas must surpass)
Think as if it were liquid fluids instead of gas and air. They are essentially the same, just at much, much smaller densities. In a pool of water, a jet is shot out of a tube at extremely high pressure. If it is several inches form a material, there won't be nearly as much damage as if it were shot right up against the material.
