Israeli defence company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd reports it will “introduce unique modular Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) capabilities, combining advanced detection and interception technologies,” at the upcoming AUSA event in Washington DC, USA.
“This includes the Lite Beam laser-based interception system and the Samson 30mm Remote Weapon Station (RWS), on a 4-wheeled platform. These solutions provide maneuvering forces with robust force protection and flexibility against a wide range of airborne threats, including UAVs,” said the company in a press statement.
As part of the broader defense offering at AUSA, RAFAEL will also highlight the enhanced capabilities of its TROPHY Active Protection System (APS), which has been proven effective against a range of modern threats, said the company. The system has successfully neutralized airborne targets such as anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), and UAVs. “Additionally, TROPHY has demonstrated the capability to neutralize aerial threats such as drones and UAVs, providing comprehensive protection for platforms against both ground and air threats.”
TROPHY’s technology is operational on over a dozen platforms worldwide, including Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs), Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs), and Main Battle Tanks (MBTs), said the company.
