IDF Armor-Defense System Foils Attack on Tank for First Time
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - The IDF's new Trophy armor-defense system defended a tank from an anti-tank missile attack on the Gaza border for the first time on Tuesday. Produced by Rafael, Trophy is an active armor defense system that employs sensors and radar to identify an incoming missile, and dispatches interceptor missiles which neutralize the hostile weapon before it can strike the tank. The system was developed following the Second Lebanon War, when a number of tanks were damaged by advanced anti-tank missiles fired by Hizbullah.
