Trophy (Israel Defense Forces designation מעיל רוח, lit. "Windbreaker") is a military armored vehicle active protection system (APS) designed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.

Its principal purpose is to supplement the armor of light and heavy armored fighting vehicles. The system is in active use on Merkava Mark 3 & 4 and Namer APCs and U.S. Abrams M1A1/2, and tested on the Stryker APCs and Bradley Fighting Vehicles (BFVs).

Trophy protects against a wide variety of anti-tank threats, while also enhancing the vehicle's ability to identify enemy location to crews and combat formation, thereby providing greater survivability in numerous combat environments.
