Actualmente integrados \u00a0solamente a los \u00a0nuevos blindados Merkava MK4 y NAMER APC, el sistema ser\u00e1 tambi\u00e9n provisto a las dotaciones de los Merkava MK3 y otros blindados. Basados en los excelentes resultados obtenidos en combate real por los sistemas de protecci\u00f3n Activa (APS) TROPHY, la empresa de \u00a0sistemas para la defensa de Israel RAFAEL, est\u00e1 implementando mejoras que le permitan adem\u00e1s, hacer frente a nuevas e inesperadas amenazas que se presentan en los escenarios de combate actuales.\u00a0El desarrollo de la 2da y 3ra generaci\u00f3n de este eficaz sistema, tiene el objetivo de ser provisto a toda la familia de Blindados MERKAVA y NAMER, de uso tanto en las Fuerzas Activas como en las Reservas. Se prev\u00e9 \u00a0incluso, que la nueva generaci\u00f3n de \u00a0APS, tendr\u00e1n la capacidad de asistir a otros Veh\u00edculos “no protegidos”, que integren una columna militar, utilizando capacidades de “protecci\u00f3n cooperativa” ante una amenaza, mediante el empleo de modernos sensores y contramedidas.<\/p>\n

Based on positive lessons learned in recent combat RAFAEL is enhancing the Trophy<\/a><\/span> Active Protection System (APS<\/a><\/span>). \u201cThe system is designed to meet and adapt to face unexpected threats\u201d IDF Maj. R, APS<\/a><\/span> Program Manager told professional audience at the International Armored Vehicles conference in London last week. \u201cWe are currently improving the system and plan to field more enhancements in the future. We\u2019ll proceed with 2nd and 3rd Generation systems as we intend to equip all active and reserve forces with APS\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to IDF sources, the system, currently integrated on Israel<\/a><\/span>\u2019s Merkava Mk 4 main battle tanks and Namer heavy Armored Personnel Carriers (APC) is evolving and will be deployed on Merkava Mk3 and other combat vehicles in the future. The IDF future combat vehicles \u2013 the 8\u00d78 wheeled APC Eitan and tracked Future Combat Vehicle (FCV) Carmel will both include the next generation APS. Part of the \u2018Next Generation\u2019 features of these future APS s will be the ability to \u2018cover\u2019 other elements, including unprotected vehicles, using \u2018cooperative engagement\u2019, utilizing advanced sensors and countermeasures. The first example of the Carmel FCV will be a technology demonstrator and is expected to have many advanced features, including the next generation co-operative active defense system (ADS).<\/p>\n

The need for an APS was realized with the introduction of threats that overmatched conventional ballistic armor, for example, to defeat an AT-15 Kornet anti-tank guided missile that can penetrate 1,200mm of homogenous steel armor (HMA), an armored vehicle have to add armor weighing close 100 tons, just to stay alive. While the frontal armor of main battle tanks could be sufficient to stop most ATGWs, the Kornet can be fired from any direction, at a range up to 5,500 meters, with hit probability of 80 percent \u2013 practically invisible to the tank crew and hardly reachable by the tank gun. Equally threatening is the Tandem-head of the RPG-29, fired from close range.<\/p>\n
