What matters in the world today, is the new defense system that has been developed by the Israeli government. The new system involves tanks that are equipped with anti missile systems that not only detect incoming projectiles, but shoot them out of the air. The system is called Trophy, and is so small that it can fit into any tank desired. Before this "active defense" system, tanks relied on increasingly thicker armor and a "reactive defense" system. The reactive defense system would set off a small explosion when impact occurred. This would counter act some of the force, but not all. The new Trophy system can defend any anti tank weapon, which will leave mines as the only threat to tanks. The Trophy is estimated to cost approximately $200,000 a piece; which isn’t much considering how many lives will be saved. This system matters to the world because it will not only keep all tank crews alive, but it will give Israel a great advantage in the future. With nearly unstoppable tanks, the only power that would be able to stop Israel from conquering the rest of the middleeast would be the United Sates. This new system matters to education because now engineers all over the world and far into the future will be studying how the system works. Trophy runs on a program that cannot only recognize a threat, but neutralize it all together. It is extremely hard for humans to hit a moving target, but for a computer, it would be even harder because of how long it would take to process. Obviously the new Trophy defense system will be put into effect in the future and used to protect the operators of a key battle field machine.
