US Army Deploys Israeli Elbit Active Protection System on Bradley Fighting Vehicles

US Army Deploys Israeli Elbit Active Protection System on Bradley Fighting Vehicles

The U.S. Army has begun fielding Bradley fighting vehicles upgraded with Elbit Systems' "Iron Fist" active protection system, a significant deployment aimed at enhancing protection against modern battlefield threats. This initiative, a collaboration with General Dynamics, involves retrofitting existing vehicles and represents a contract worth over $200 million for initial brigades, with potential for much larger expansion. The "Iron Fist" system uses a blast wave to neutralize threats, differing from Rafael's "Trophy" system, which uses metal fragments. While "Trophy" remains on Abrams tanks, "Iron Fist" is favored for lighter vehicles, and Israel's own military is also adopting both systems for its armored and mechanized forces.
