I know that the Strykers are starting to trial something like this against RPGs in Iraq, any news on how that's doing?

Oh yeah, RAFAEL or Israel also has an APS, the TROPHY Active Protection System, right? But that's still a prototype, right?

It's operational and U.S Strykers are to be equipped with it.
