10 Years Fighting: Israel’s Revolutionary Trophy Is a Tank 'Shield', by Seth J. Frantzman

As threats to modern tanks evolve, so too must advanced defenses.

How did it all begin? Back in 2011 terrorists in the Gaza Strip got a surprise when they fired an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) at an Israeli Merkava and the Trophy system was activated and had its first public operational interception. For Israel it is part of a wider success at intercepting threats, because the Iron Dome system that Rafael also developed had its first public succession April of the same year. Suddenly the game changing technology was providing Israel with unparalleled protection, the likes of which no country in the world had seen until that moment.

“We have the communications of the tank team,” says Lurie, recalling the 2011 success. The men were speaking amongst themselves and looking around and they saw movement in a nearby mosque. “Then suddenly you hear a noise and they say that an ATGM was shot and the system intercepted it, we have it live, and it’s a strange feeling, it gives you a sense of how the system works, you are in the tank and it works automatically like a guardian angel, it is there 24 hours a day and you don’t need to be aware of it and it protects; and it’s a great feeling to be responsible for that,” says Lurie.

Trophy is not only a defense system that stops ATGMs. It also provides the defender with knowledge of where the enemy is shooting from, so counter fire can be directed and a tank or another system can shoot back. This has improved maneuvering capabilities for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Lurie says. “Now we don’t have to be that defensive about ATGM threats, you can maneuver more securely and do things in the past that you had to be careful of doing and that improved the IDFs capabilities to fight and hopefully that will apply to other militaries that buy the system.”
