Israel's Elbit to Sell Active Vehicle Protection System to Sweden for NATO
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Israel's Elbit Systems has received new contracts totaling $150 million from Sweden's BAE Systems Hagglunds for its Iron Fist Active Protection System (APS) for ground vehicles. The system will be installed on CV90 Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) operated by a number of European NATO members. At a high-profile live-fire demonstration in Europe in September, Iron Fist successfully intercepted more than a dozen 120 mm. tank rounds. Elbit says the Iron Fist is an advanced hard-kill active protection system that "delivers 360-degree protection against various anti-armor threats, including anti-tank rockets, anti-tank guided missiles, unmanned aerial systems, and loitering munitions, in both open terrain and complex urban environments."
