    Iron Fist is an advanced Active Protection System (APS) that provides enhanced survivability of platforms ranging from light vehicles to heavy armored fighting vehicles. Designed to protect soldiers and vehicles from anti-armor threats, the Iron Fist rapidly and reliably detects, tracks, and neutralizes anti-tank rockets (i.e. RPG), anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), kinetic energy and high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) round with two layers of active protection. https://www.gd-ots.com/protection-systems/active-protection-systems/iron-fist/

    ACTIVE PROTECTION SYSTEM

    General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems and Israel Military Industries (IMI) are teamed to provide
    vehicle integration and production of the Iron Fist. The Iron Fist has successfully performed a full series of
    field interception tests against all threat types, including on-the-move and cluttered urban environment in
    both light and heavy vehicle configurations.
