The Israeli Trophy system was developed in 2005 to detect and destroy RPG missiles and projectiles fired at a tank. The system is equipped with a special radar station and a computer that determines the class and flight path of enemy ammunition. If an anti-tank grenade or missile threatens the tank, the system releases small charges towards the threat, which undermine it on approach. In addition, the system is able to determine the place from where the ammunition was released. The Trophy system is available in several versions, in addition, in October 2015, RADS presented its "lightweight" version of Trophy LV.

Trophy systems are installed on Israeli Merkava tanks, German Leopard II and American M1A2 Abrams.
