Leonardo DRS and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems have received a $79.6M contract to supply the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps with active protection systems designed to protect combat ground vehicles from anti-armor rockets and missiles.
The industry team will provide additional TROPHY systems and the contract will bring the total funded value of the military program to $200M, Leonardo DRS said Tuesday.
Both companies developed a smaller variant of the platform and tested it on a Bradley fighting vehicle in August last year.
œTogether with our Rafael partners, we are fully committed to meeting our customers™ demands and are working in parallel to further address the urgent protection needs of other U.S. platforms,” said Aaron Hankins, vice president and general manager of Leonardo’s land systems division.
