Additional Trophy APS ordered by US
Leonardo DRS has received an undefinitised contract action to provide additional Trophy active protection systems (APS) for the US Army and Marine Corps, the company announced on 8 January.
The contract action, initially worth $79.6 million, brings the total funded value of the programme to over $200 million.
The Trophy system, developed by Leonardo’s partner Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, provides protection against anti-armour rocket and missile threats, while at the same time locating and reporting the origin of the hostile fire for immediate response.
