Merkawa Mk4 Barak has a modernized active defence strategy for the Trophy vehicle. However, it was not informed what improvements were introduced in the hard-kill class set tested in the battle. It is possible that the main area of change is software, whose task is to increase the effectiveness of the complex. Given the strength of the war in the Gaza Strip (including armored units), amendments to the strategy can be presumed to be being implemented on an ongoing basis.
