WASHINGTON — As the U.S. Army prepares to make key decisions in the near future on interim active protection system solutions for its fleet, Rheinmetall wants in.
The German company’s Active Defense System, which has a solution extensively demonstrated in Europe on a variety of combat vehicles, incorporates distributed, low-powered microwave radar sensors that detect ballistic threats such as rocket-propelled grenades and anti-tank guided missiles. Interceptors can then defeat the incoming threats as close as roughly 1 meter from the hull of the vehicle by disabling its main charge and minimizing an explosion, Stefan Hasse, Rheinmetall’s director of protection systems, told Defense News.
The Army has been working on interim APS solutions for its Abrams tanks, Stryker combat vehicles and Bradley fighting vehicles for over a year. The service has been looking at three different systems: Trophy, a Rafael Advanced Defense Systems combined hostile fire detection and APS system, is expected to be chosen for the Abrams; Iron Fist, a system developed by IMI Systems and General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, is poised to be chosen as the solution for the Bradley; and Iron Curtain, a US-based offering from Artis Corporation is being evaluated for the Stryker.
