New order for Elbit Systems: The Israeli company has won an order worth around 116 million euros for the supply of Iron Fist Active Protection Systems (APS) from BAE Systems Hägglunds . The systems will be installed on the CV90 infantry fighting vehicle as part of a European country’s project. The order will be executed over a period of five and a half years.
Yehuda Vered, General Manager of Elbit Systems Land, was naturally delighted with the order: “Following the contracts signed in previous years, we are honored to have received this important order from BAE Systems Hägglunds for a European country.” https://militaeraktuell.at/bundesheer-f-35-bleiben-zum-training-in-oesterreich/ The Iron Fist APS is an advanced hard kill system designed to enhance the self-defense capabilities of armored platforms against threats on the battlefield. It is the second generation APS of the Israel Defense Forces and is characterized by high performance with low volume, weight and energy requirements.
