It senses incoming threats via a fixed radar sensor developed by RADA Electronic Industries and an optional passive infrared detector developed by Elbit's Elisra. When a threat is imminent, an explosive projectile interceptor is launched towards it. The interceptor explodes very near the threat, destroying or deflecting and destabilizing it without detonating its warhead. For this, only the blast effect of the explosive is used. The interceptor casing is made of combustible materials so no fragmentation is formed in the explosion, helping minimize collateral damage.
List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) television series are American superhero television shows, based on characters that appear in publications by Marvel Comics. The shows have been in production since 2013, and in that time Marvel Television and ABC Studios have premiered four series, with eight more in various stages of development. The broadcast series that air on ABC have averaged around 7–8 million viewers a season, with all MCU series receiving strong critical responses.
The Most Capable Active Protection System to Defeat the Widest Array of Threats
The Iron Fist Light takes active protection to the next level. Iron Fist Light is an easily configured add-on system applicable for armored platforms from light 4x4 vehicles up to medium and heavy Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFV).
The System’s hard-kill concept is based on intercepting the threat by launching a small warhead and initiating it at a safe distance from the protected platform, at a precisely calculated moment, and defeating or destructing the threat through a shock-wave effect.

The Iron Fist series of Active Protection Systems (APS) delivers high-performance protection against anti-tank threats.
It uses optical sensors, tracking radar, launchers and countermeasure munitions to defeat threats at a safe distance. The Iron Fist system provides 360-degree protection coverage for close-range scenarios in both open terrain and urban environment. The systems’ high-performance, versatility and negligible residual penetration, as well as its low size and weight and ease of integration, position the Iron Fist as an optimal APS for any fighting vehicle.

RAFAEL, a global leader in advanced defence technologies, proudly announces its achievement in securing a £20 million contract from the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) for the cutting-edge TROPHY Active Protection System (APS). This milestone marks a significant stride towards enhancing the defensive capabilities of the Challenger 3 Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) and highlights RAFAEL's participation in DSEI 2023.
Through rigorous evaluation, the UK MOD recognised the TROPHY APS as an indispensable addition to safeguard the Challenger 3 MBTs and their esteemed crew members against modern battlefield threats. The TROPHY APS boasts a proven track record of success, having been operational and combat-proven in various scenarios worldwide.
RAFAEL, in collaboration with the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence, successfully completed the 2nd phase of integrating the TROPHY Active Protective System (APS) on the Challenger 3 (CR3). A series of live fire tests, conducted towards the end of 2022, demonstrated the system's effectiveness as it intercepted well over 90% of threats targeting the CR3 representative tank fitted with TROPHY APS.
Dr. Ran Gozali, Executive Vice President, GM Land & Naval Division at Rafael Advanced Defence Systems, "we are encouraged by the latest tests, praising TROPHY's effectiveness and RAFAEL's proficiency in integrating the system on yet another platform. The collaboration with the UK MOD is set to continue, propelling further successes in the future, as the project heads towards its third and final phase of integration, instilling greater confidence in TROPHY's ability to ensure fortified defence for the UK and its troops."

Iron Fist’s optic sensors and radars can automatically detect incoming projectiles and calculate an engagement plan. The explosive interceptor is then launched which detonates in close proximity to the target, producing a blast effect that crushes the soft components of the charge or destabilizes it. The interceptor’s casing is fully combustible, which minimize shrapnel and collateral damage.
While this 2006 technology is designed to counter threats from relatively flat trajectories like RPG rounds, Elbit Systems says that coverage from the above requires minimal engineering modification and can be implemented upon customer’s request.
