The Trophy system is not a physical armor shield, but rather a complete defensive system for armored vehicles (similar to a mini Patriot missile defense system). Due to its faster response time and ability to defend against multiple attacks simultaneously, it can be used not only in field combat but also in urban street battles. The system can defend against various anti-tank weapons: RPGs (not role-playing games, but Rocket-Propelled Grenades), missiles (though it seems unable to protect against landmines). It not only protects the tank itself but also provides some protection for surrounding ground troops engaged in coordinated operations.
It appears that the protective umbrellas for armored vehicles in computer games are gradually becoming a reality. One wonders if this system could be modified and installed on cars? To reduce unfortunate car accidents that might be live-streamed.
