RBSL Challenger 3 battle tank to be equipped with Trophy Active Protection System - Military Embedded Systems June 28, 2021 EMMA HELFRICH Technology Editor Rafael photo. ISRAEL. Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. announced that its Trophy Active Protection System (APS) for armored vehicles has been selected for the next phase of detailed assessment and integration by the U.K. Ministry of Defense (MoD) for the Army’s Challenger 3 MBT. According to the company, the selection is a result of a study conducted by the U.K. MoD as part of an upgrade program led by prime contractor Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land (RBSL), which will entail detailed integration and system trials of this lighter Trophy variant (Trophy MV), to fit the particular requirements of this vehicle. Trophy APS is designed to provide mature, combat-proven protection against rocket and missile threats while locating the origin of the hostile fire for immediate response. Trophy is a fully-integrated APS and has been installed on Israel Defense Forces’ Merkava tanks since 2010, and has also been installed on the Namer APCs. The company claims that Trophy has made numerous combat interceptions with no damage to platforms since its first operational interception in 2011. Trophy has accrued over 1,000,000 operating hours, including 5,400 field tests, and is now under contract for serial production of over 1,800 systems. ##### British Army to possess most lethal tank in Europe

Michele Capeleto - IHS Jane's Navy International 02 July 2017 Rostec unveiled an export version of the Russian Instrument Design Bureau (KBP)-designed integrated gun and surface-to-air missile (SAM) naval weapon system Pantsir-M, designated Pantsir-ME, at the International Maritime Defence Show (IMDS) in St Petersburg. Pantsir-ME is a fully automated pedestal-mounted close-in weapon system (CIWS) that can carry two six-barrel 30 mm guns and eight infrared guided missiles, equally split on either side of the turret superstructure. A tracking radar antenna with a centrally mounted electro-optic suite completes the gun/missile combined armament suite. Each system is capable of engaging four targets simultaneously and can operate independently, as well as within a battery of up to four modules. The system, developed by High Precision Systems’ KBP – part of Rostec State Corporation – is described by Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov as “an evolution of the Kashtan and Kashtan-M”, having probability of kill “three-to-four times higher than its predecessor [Kashtan-M], with a reaction time [upon threat detection] of 3-5 seconds”. The two navalised versions of the weapon, Pantsir-M for domestic market and Pantsir-ME for exports, appear to be derivatives of the land-based Pantsir-S system. Rostec claims that the ship-based versions are the only CIWSs currently available that “combine [a gun plus the SAM armament] and an integrated radar-optical armament control system in a single turret mount”. According to the manufacturer, the Pantsir-ME is compatible with the Hermes-K missile, providing a maximum engagement range of 20 km (10.8 n miles) for targets at altitudes 0.002 km and 15 km, and a minimum range of 1.2 km. The combined use of radar and optical control systems provides an all-weather 24/7 operation capability.
