The US Army chose to acquire the Israeli system "Iron Fist"

[19887]

The US Army has chosen the active defense system of IMI "Iron Fist", as a central component of his flagship program.
The system can deal with a variety of anti-tank missiles, including the advanced "Kornet" missiles.
The system is equipped with radar, which can identify the moment the missile launch, and disrupt its flight.
The system "Iron Fist" exists in two versions, a heavy version of 300 kg, and most advanced version, the IFLC, weighing a hundred kg, which can be installed on light vehicles.
In the case when the missile continues to move towards the vehicle, the system "Iron Fist" launch the interceptor .
The interceptor will not destroy the warhead of the missile,in order to minimize environmental damage,In other words, the shock wave produced by the interceptor missile bisecting the enemy missile and eventually the missile falling on the ground.
The uniqueness of the system is that it does not weigh very much, can be mounted on any vehicle, requires only a power connection and can cope well with recoilless gun shells threaten the tool.
In addition, the system can avoid interception if it detects that the anti-tank missile does not pose a danger to the protected vehicle.

After choosing Iron Fist, U.S is seems to be interested in combining Trophy in it's APS program too

US Army To Test Rafael’s Trophy

Almost a decade passed since Israeli defence manufacturer Rafael premiered an innovative anti-missile defence system for armoured vehicles and tanks – the Trophy Active Protection System. Following years of research, development, and testing, the US Army and Marine Corps are now eyeing the Trophy up and preparing to pilot it on its tanks.

Trophy protect the vehicle it’s attached to by shooting down an incoming missile with what is essentially a turret-mounted shotgun. It’s incredibly effective. The system operates in two modes: active and soft. In the former, active onboard sensors detect incoming threats and fire rounds to deflect them. The soft mode uses jammers in a similar manner to how most aircraft protection systems work.

The US Army plans to lease four of Rafael’s Trophy systems to test them on its Stryker combat vehicle and M1A2 tank, the US Naval Institute said. The Marine Corps is also planning on some rigorous testing for the system and is modifying a few M1A2 tanks to accommodate it.


Lieutenant General Robert S Walsh, Commanding General of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command, recently told the Senate that tech like the Trophy is absolutely essential to keep up with advancing threats.

“When we start getting threats on our aircraft, our helicopters, our fixed wing aircraft, [from] infrared missiles, we quickly put out a capability to defeat those types of missiles,” Walsh said. “Now we’re seeing the threat on the ground changing, becoming a much more sophisticated threat on the ground. What we’ve continued to do is up-armor our capabilities on the ground, put armor on them.”

Adding more and more armour increases the ability to protect vehicles, but hinders their ability to function. Now, Walsh said, the time has come to work “more with a higher technology capability” to protect the Army’s assets.

Testing is slated to begin soon, but at this stage it’s unknown when the Army or Marine Corps will implement Trophy on a large scale.
