"טרופי קל" Trophy Light
World Debut for the Trophy Light
Rafael's TROPHY LIGHT Active Protection System (APS) is making its world debut here at Eurosatory, demonstrated on a Rheinmetall
Gavial light armored vehicle. The vehicle also carries a Mini Samson weapon station adapted for the 14.5mm KVPT machine gun. Trophy Light was developed to protect light armored vehicles, where the protected vehicle does not maintain substantial armor to contain the countermeasure's blast or secondary impact of RPG restudies that may remain after an intercept by other systems.
To meet this challenge the system offers very high speed response, enabling effective protection at very close range. As other Trophy family systems, Trophy Light uses two sensors operating in unison – a network of four sensors covering 360 degrees and distributed electro-optical sensors that trigger the relevant countermeasure unit at a very close range. The system has passed intensive series of tests where it demonstrated high efficiency in defeating various types of standard and advanced RPGs. RAFAEL is also presenting here a new version of 30mm turret mounted on a GDELS Piranha 3. RAFAEL has already delivered different types of turrets, currently installed on Pandur 2 AFVs and the current turret builds on the experience gained with the first installation. The new remotely operated turret is fully armored, although it provides a hatch for the ommander. Operating the gun, reloading ammunition, or operating stoppages is performed from the inside, under armor. The new configuration enables much lower silhouette, since part of the ammunition can be stored inside and loaded when required. The turret is designed with continues curved surfaces, minimizing reflection and enabling safe movement for the crew when maintaining the vehicle. All the sensitive optronic systems are also under armor, whit the side mounted add-on missile launchers also protected.

Elbit Systems Launches the ‘Clip-On Coyote’, a Modular Un-Cooled Sniper Sight.
Elbit Systems is launching at Eurosatory 2012 the Clip-On Coyote, a modular un-cooled sight that easily integrates in front of any sniper’s rifle telescope. Weighing less than 1.7 kg, the Clip-On Coyote enables shooting ranges on accurate calibers for snipers for more than 1,000m, high quality thermal imaging, detection range of 2.5 km and more than 8 hours of continuous operations.
Specially designed for team operations, the system also offers a Video Net Kit for team efficiency. Comprised of video recording, transferring and receiving capabilities, the kit has also the ability to connect several snipers to the same net, enabling them to share and coordinate mission data. It also provides enhanced command and control and advanced monitoring and investigating capabilities.

Controp Presents New EO Payloads for UAVs and Land Systems at Eurosatory 2012
Controp Precision Technologies has launched is introducing the M-STAMP gyro stabilized multi sensor payload system for small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and small aircraft. The M-STAMP has a daylight (CCD) zoom camera and uncooled thermal imager dual field of view optics. In addition, the payload includes a laser pointer.Controp plans to offer an uncooled thermal imager with a continuous zoom as well. The new payload has also been delivered to customers in Europe and the US. One of the applications is the HoverEye EX unmanned helicopter developed by Bertin. In the US, the US Air Force has evaluated the new payload on an Elbit Systems Skylark LE

In addition, CONTROP is bringing the new SPEED-V for the first time to be on demonstration at Eurosatory 2012. The SPEED-V is a lightweight (24kg) EO/IR gyro stabilized system which was specially designed for Mobile Surveillance Vehicle (MSV) while installed on a tall mast or on ground vehicles. The SPEED-V provides long range observation capabilities for intelligence gathering purposes, as well as panoramic scanning for Automatic Intruder Detection of very wide area perimeter
Controp SPEED-V Payload
For manned or unmanned ground vehicles Controp provides the VIEW range of stabilized rigid payloads. The family includes the L-VIEW, with a single sensor and the T-VIEW packing a dual sensor EO/IR on a gyro stabilized mount for day and night observation on board various ground vehicles and armored vehicles. T-VIEW includes two cameras- an uncooled thermal camera with continuous zoom lens and a daytime CCD camera while L-VIEW comprises a single uncooled IR camera with continuous zoom lens. The L-VIEW has successfully completed an evaluation and field test for a foreign customer, mounted on armored combat vehicles. These payloads were designed to answer a unique field requirement as an aid to the commander and crew of light armored vehicles. The gyro stabilized VIEW payloads enable observation while driving through thick dust, dirt roads, so that the commander can have complete control of the surrounding area in panoramic view, which increases the mobile safety of the troops and provides security of access during movement. Other applications of the L-VIEW and T-VIEW include observation, navigation, driving, situational awareness and force protection while providing real-time video onboard a variety of different land vehicles
Plasan Introduces Enhanced FlexFence Capable of Defeating Multiple RPGs

The new ‘soft skin’ applied to the VAB Ultima vehicle displayed at Renault Trucks Defence’s yard is a new RPG protection is believed to be Plasan’s FlexFence, adding higher protection form RPGs. While the new protection is also based on ‘statistical defeat’ of the RPG warhead, Plasan claims that due to the unique composition of FlexFence it defeat RPGs with higher probability than any other statistical armor. Plasan is displaying here the latest version of FlexFence, claimed to be even more effective than the previous version. The new version has recently performed live firing tests, where it repeatedly demonstrated multi-hit capability (stopping several RPGs aimed at the same module).
According to Plasan, the lightweight FlexFence offers the lightest weight counter RPG armor available today. Its durability has been proven in testing in complex terrain, like jungle, thick brush, and wooded areas, where other protection concepts such as nets will not survive. The FlexFence is applied over the existing armor, without changing the vehicle’s width or silhouette, maintaining the vehicle’s ballistic protection while adding counter RPG armor.
