How does Trophy active protection system work?

The system was first deployed in 2011 and is currently installed on the Israel Defense Force's Merkava Mk3 and Mk4 tanks and its armored personnel carriers. "Trophy has made numerous combat interceptions with no injuries to crews, dismounted troops or damage to platforms," the release states.
