Iron Fist Light Installment On Bradley Fighting Vehicle Advances to Phase II
Installation of Iron Fist Light (IFL) Active Protection System (APS) on the United States (US) Army's Bradley armoured fighting vehicle has advanced to Phase II, RADA said in a statement Monday.
The team providing the system comprises General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS), Elbit Systems, RADA Electronic Industries and Israel Military Industries (IMI).
The IFL system is a lightweight APS for armored and tactical platforms. RADA’s software defined radars identify and track incoming threats and then intercepts it by launching a small warhead and activating it at a safe distance from the protected platform at a precisely calculated moment, defeating the threat through a shock-wave effect, according to the company.
Phase II is expected to continue for the next two years, RADA stated.
