Almost like an invisible shield around the armored vehicle/tank... interesting...

Very interesting indeed. I like that and could save a lot of lifes. Sure would cut down on those terrorist launching unexpected ground attacks from hidden structures.

They announced this a couple years ago... its cool to see a demo of it working!

I'd be interested to learn how it works. It clearly is not the same as the Active Armour system that the Soviets came up with.

It's a robotic point defense shotgun. Great for shooting down missiles. Won't help a damn against IEDs.

Give them about 1 year and they'll probably have that problem licked also.

It has possiblities. I can see with a marrage of reactive armor, chobham armor, and the Trophy you would have some very good protection from just about anything. Even IEDs (within reason.)

I guess it must use dopler radar. Maybe even phased array with a dedicated computer chip with no hard drive and everything written in microcode.
