At Eurosatory 2014 Israeli Company Rafael exhibits its Trophy-LV light active protection system.

The neutralization process takes place only if the threat is about to hit the platform. Trophy, declared operational by the IDF in 2009 is currently in full production, and is the only operational, combat-proven armor APS in the world. Merkava 4 tanks integrated with Trophy active protection systems are presently deployed in combat areas along Israel's borders.

Trophy-LV

This active protection hard kill system for light armored vehicles utilizes the same superior operating principles as the Trophy-HV and Trophy-MV at a fraction of the weight. Trophy-LV’s high kill probability against advanced threats, including the most sophisticated shoulder-launched AT rocket propelled grenades, makes it a significant force-multiplier at shorter ranges on the modern battlefield.

The Trophy-LV’s dimensions are specially designed for easy integration and installation onto smaller platforms without impairing system performance. This ensures 360º protection including the vehicle’s windows and doors with minimal risk of collateral damage. The Trophy-LV is an all-round efficient, affordable, and cost-effective solution that is currently undergoing field testing in a variety of operational scenarios.

The Trophy systems have a very high kill probability and testing has shown them to be successful against all known CE threats (RPG, ATGM, tank-fired CE, etc.) The systems’ average collateral damage is estimated at a <1% chance of a dismounted soldier being injured by Trophy or an incoming threat.
