As part of the broader defense offering at AUSA, Rafael will also highlight the enhanced capabilities of its Trophy Active Protection System (APS), which has been proven effective against a range of modern threats. The system has successfully neutralized airborne targets such as anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), and UAVs, thus enhancing the survivability of armored vehicles. Additionally, Trophy has demonstrated the capability to neutralize aerial threats such as drones and UAVs, providing comprehensive protection for platforms against both ground and air threats.
Trophy’s cutting-edge technology is operational on over a dozen platforms worldwide, including Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs), Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs), and Main Battle Tanks (MBTs). It has consistently demonstrated its adaptability and reliability in complex combat scenarios, providing comprehensive protection for vehicles and crews.
This latest presentation at AUSA highlights Rafael’s ongoing commitment to delivering advanced battlefield defense solutions. As global threats evolve, we continue to equip armed forces with cutting-edge technologies to ensure their operational superiority in diverse and challenging environments, said Mr. Tzvi Marmor, EVP & General Manager of the Land & Naval Systems Division.
