Estimados coforistas:
Aqui podremos conversar todo lo relacionado con esta tecnología que en breve comenzará a equipar a un numero cada vez mayor de blindados de la linea occidental y que ha venido ganando importancia dado el surgimiento de nuevas amenazas de caracter asimètrico que hoy en día enfrentan las fuerzas acorazadas de los paises OTAN, representadas por operadores de misiles antitanque en Irak y Afganistan cuyas acciones se basan fundamentalmente en IEDs y emboscadas. Un caso ejemplar fue el caso del enfrentamiento entre las IDF de Israel con Hezbolah en el Libano en donde el Merkava tuvo un muy duro enfrentamiento urbano con la guerrilla islàmica operadora de RPG-29 y Kornet, sufriendo bajas.
Es por esto que existen varias opciones de defensa activa que interceptan el proyectil lanzado mediante lanzamiento de una granada por parte de un sistema que está diseñado para detectar y responder rápidamente y así salvaguardar tanto a la unidad blindada como a la integridad de sus ocupantes. Entre los sistemas hoy en prueba e implementación se encuentran por ejemplo el IRON FIRSTy el TROPHY de origen israelì, los cuales podrian ser una opción a considerar en el desarrollo futuro y actualizaciones de las fuerzas blindadas chilenas.

Israeli Trophy Active Defence System Tested in Military Exercises

Trophy another step closer to introduction by Israeli armoured divisions
11:01 GMT, December 17, 2010 defpro.com | As the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) recently announced, the Trophy active defence system for armoured vehicles has again been successfully tested during an Israeli Army exercise. Jointly developed by Rafael, Elta and the US company, General Dynamics, Trophy is primarily designed for the protection of the Israeli-built Merkava 4 main battle tank (MBT) against threats such as anti-tank rockets and missiles.
Providing active protection against incoming threats, the Trophy system (designated Windbreaker or ‘Meil Ruach’ by the IDF) uses sensors to detect threats and counters them by firing a special charge. Trophy has been designed to simultaneously detect and engage threats approaching the vehicle from different directions. Despite offering an all-round close-range protection, Trophy is designed as a supplement to the vehicle’s passive armour.
The system has recently been involved in a regimental exercise by the Israeli Army’s 401st Brigade, after having already been thoroughly tested in controlled environments by industry and the armed forces. Since it was first presented in 2005, Trophy entered series-production in 2007 and is now in the process of being introduced into service by IDF armoured divisions. The decision to equip Israel’s Merkava 4 MBTs with the Trophy system was announced by the Ministry of Defence in August 2009.
According to UPI, the Israeli Army leadership strongly urged the system’s introduction after 22 Merkavas were damaged by Russian Kornet anti-tank guided missiles during the war with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon in the summer of 2006.
The recent exercise, conducted by the 9th Battalion of the Armoured Corps, took place in the Golan Heights, the long-disputed area in northern Israel. The deputy commander of the 401st Brigade, Lt.Col. Haim Ido, said: “Thanks to Windbreaker we have the ability to fight more effectively, faster and more securely than ever before.” Referring to Trophy as well as to other military equipment tested during the exercise, an Israeli officer said: “The issue of absorbing new technological capabilities in the tank division is gaining significant momentum. We must learn to use them more effectively in the exercises we perform.”
On October 12th, Trophy saw its first demonstration during a ten-day IDF joint combat exercise at the Shizafon base in southern Israel. The event was attended by top Israeli military leaders, including the IDF Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, Deputy Chief of the General Staff, Maj. Gen. Benny Gantz, and the Chief of the Ground Forces, Maj. Gen. Sami Turgeman. As during the recent exercise, the active defence system was displayed on a Merkava Mark 4 main battle tank. The system’s performance was demonstrated by eliminating a dummy missile which was fired at the tank.
Anticipating the system’s introduction with the entire battalion as soon as Trophy is fully operational, Sergeant Nico Gabay, a gunner in the 9th Battalion, summarised the experiences made during the recent exercise: “This is something important and innovative. Of course there were several glitches, but they were not critical. It is apparent from the training scenarios that it is a very useful system that will protect the tank.”
