The Trophy active protection system creates a hemispheric protected zone around the vehicle where incoming threats are intercepted and defeated. It has three elements providing – Threat Detection and Tracking, Launching and Intercept functions. The Threat Detection and Warning subsystem consists of several sensors, including flat-panel radars, placed at strategic locations around the protected vehicle, to provide full hemispherical coverage. Once an incoming threat is detected identified and verified, the Countermeasure Assembly is opened, the countermeasure device is positioned in the direction where it can effectively intercept the threat. Then, it is launched automatically into a ballistic trajectory to intercept the incoming threat at a relatively long distance.

The Trophy, which features the sterling silver visage of every Indy winner, made its inaugural appearance in Victory Lane in 1936. In 2004, a new base was constructed and attached to the Trophy to add capacity for future winners through 2034. Made of over 100 pounds of sterling silver and standing five feet, five inches tall, the Trophy originally cost $10,000 and is currently valued at $1.5 million.

The Trophy Room has sadly changed a great deal. During the management changes of the park, many of the hunting trophies were removed by the Disney family. The ivory mastodon tusk was removed as well. The room remains the same beyond that. Unique photos of Walt Disney now adorn the heavily paneled walls. The animatronic vulture stills sits perched in the corner but the animatronic features were never used.

The walls of the Trophy Room (the rich wood look and touch of natural finish cypress) are lined with samples of the hunter's skill. Over a period of years, friends of Walt Disney had given him a prize collection of princely value: African antelope, mountain goat, native spears, masks and plumes. And the room's most valuable decorative showpiece, a nine-foot long, solid ivory mammoth tusk.
