Trophy (Israel Defense Forces designation מעיל רוח, 'Windbreaker') is an active protection system (APS) for military armored vehicles designed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.
It is designed to supplement the standard armor of light and heavy armored fighting vehicles. The system is in active use on Merkava Mark 4 tanks and the Namer armored personnel carrier (APC).
