The Oshkosh M-ATV is a superior MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle. The Rafael Trophy LV solution enables greatest level of protection, hostile fire detection and greater lethality increasing operational capabilities and allowing troops to carry out missions with greater flexibility, maneuverability and confidence.
Trophy is a family of situational awareness and active protection hard kill systems that operate in three major stages: Threat detection and threat tracking, followed by hard kill countermeasure activation and threat neutralization. The operational requirement to equip armored vehicles with an APS is dictated by the growing proliferation of advanced Anti armor weapons. Trophy-LV has the proven capability to defeat advanced threats coupled with handling all safety considerations of an autonomous shooting system, an issue that has raised concerns among potential customers for many years Trophy-LV APS capabilities have benefitted from decades of experience at Rafael, developing and integrating APSs. The principles supporting Trophy LV are similar to those of Trophy-HV, an APS which is currently in a fielding process in a third IDF combat brigade. Trophy-HV has so far saved dozens of soldiers' lives, ever since its first deployment in August 2009 and especially in operation "Protective Edge" (summer 2014), where numerous anti-armor threats were launched at Merkava IV tanks equipped with Trophy - none of these potentially lethal attacks caused casualties to IDF troops. The downscaled Trophy-LV offers a cost-effective, 360º protection, easy integration, minimal risk of collateral damage, outstanding performance at a fraction of the weight, coupled with the highest level of kill probability. |
