Israel's Rafael Delivers U.S. Army Tank Protection Systems


(Globes) Yuval Azulai - Israeli defense electronics company Rafael has delivered a first consignment of Trophy anti-missile protection systems to the U.S. Army for Abrams tanks and armored personnel carriers. The system has been in operational use with the Israel Defense Forces since 2011 and has on many occasions intercepted missiles fired at Israeli armored vehicles. Rafael CEO Gen. (res.) Yoav Har Even said, "There is great satisfaction that technology developed in Israel over many years of investment will play a major role in protecting U.S. soldiers." Production of about half of the components making up the Trophy system is being carried out in the U.S. The U.S. Army will also use Elbit's Iron Fist system for protecting Bradley armored fighting vehicles.
