SH_MM Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Laser warning sensors from Elbit Systems. Also used on other Merkava variants, the British Ajax and the TAM 2C upgrade. Bronezhilet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty_Zuk Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 These aren't them, MM. Merkava 3 does use this laser warning system but without a mast. The sensors on the mast appear to be different, with wide openings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, my bad. That happens when someone quotes just a single picture where the optics are covered... the other ones from the previous page make it obvious that this wasn't the topic of the discussion.

I don't know what it is but if I were to guess I would say it is a "slew-to-cue" system like Trophy has for killing ATGM teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH_MM Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 No, it's Elbit ALWACS' VIRCM (Vehicle Infrared Countermeasure). https://elbitsystems.com/media/ALWACS.pdf Ramlaen and LoooSeR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoooSeR Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Well, at least somebody gave a good answer to what it is. I was asking this question at several places in Russian and English-speaking part of internet and majity did not know what it was exactly, but conclusion was that it might have been observation system. https://below-the-turret-ring.blogspot.ru/2017/06/merkava-with-ears-its-alwacs.html Quote In fact the upgraded Merkava II and Merkava III tanks are fitted with the advanced laser warning and countermeasure system (ALWACS), which is made by the local manufacturer Elbit Systems. The ALWACS is a softkill active protection system (APS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Not on the droid. A Merkava dedicated fil is necessary. Tsahal is using more native AFV now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
