October 16th, 2006 by PreZ

General Dynamics has a new system for Military Vehicles that protects them from incoming RPG’s by using an invisible force field

The Trophy active protection system creates a hemispheric protected zone around the vehicle where incoming threats are intercepted and defeated. It has three elements providing – Threat Detection and Tracking, Launching and Intercept functions. The Threat Detection and Warning subsystem consists of several sensors, including flat-panel radars, placed at strategic locations around the protected vehicle, to provide full hemispherical coverage. 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.

  2. It’s not “invisible force field”, it actually detects threats with radar and fire a projectile to smash them out. It’s like russian ARENA ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arena_(active_countermeasures_system) )
