From the Ground to the Air – The Effort Continues

Two unique Israeli active protection systems designed to defend tanks and APC’s from rockets and shells, may be converted for use on helicopters.

This adaptation is not easy to achieve but efforts are being made with hope. The talk about it at this point is in low profile, as if not to create expectations but something is going on.

The Trophy made by Rafael and the Iron Fist made by Israel military industries (IMI) create a hemispheric protected zone around the vehicle where incoming threats are intercepted and defeated. When a threat is detected identified and verified, the system launches the classified interceptor and it deflects and destabilizes the rocket or shell so that it does not hit its target.

Both systems are using special radar sensors to locate and identify the threats.
