(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - A new and lightweight version of Israel's Trophy active defense system neutralized more than 95% of munitions fired at it in tests this summer ahead of testing for the U.S. Army's Stryker armored vehicle. The tests were monitored by officials and experts from the U.S. and NATO. Rafael Advanced Defense Systems said the lighter-weight Trophy Vehicle Protection System allows for a 40% weight reduction and improved power management "with no reduction in its proven ability to protect against the full range of direct fire, anti-armor rocket and missile threats." The Trophy system tracks incoming threats, such as anti-tank guided-missiles and rocket propelled grenades, then fires a shotgun-type blast to neutralize the threat. It is the only fully operational and combat-proven active protection system in the world. During the 2014 Gaza war, IDF tanks were able to operate in Gaza without suffering any losses. 2018-10-05 00:00:00Full Article
