Trophy Active Defense System (ADS) is marketed by General Dynamics (GD), based on a system designed in Israel by an industry consortium headed by RAFAEL.
The basic function of this new defense system is to create an invisible force field around the vehicle where incoming threats are intercepted and defeated. It has three elements providing -Threat detection and tracking, launching and intercept functions.
Once an incoming threat is detected identified and verified, the Countermeasure Assembly is opened, the countermeasure device is positioned in the direction where it can effectively intercept the threat.
Then, it is launched automatically into a ballistic trajectory to intercept the incoming threat at a relatively long distance. Check out the video.
The system has an automatic reload mechanism to handle multiple attacks.
