JERUSALEM \u2014 Elbit Systems will supply Iron Fist active protection systems to BAE Systems H\u00e4gglunds in a $150 million deal, the Israeli company announced on Tuesday. <\/p>\n
The technology is to be installed on the vehicle maker\u2019s CV90 infantry fighting vehicle used by European NATO members.<\/p>\n
Elbit stated that the new contract follows a milestone achieved in September 2025, when it staged a live-fire demonstration in Europe showcasing Iron Fist\u2019s ability to defeat advanced kinetic energy (KE) threats.<\/p>\n
The company has previously reported contracts for integrating its defense systems into CV90 armored vehicles. The latest announcement comes a few months after the Swedish vehicles manufacturer reported a growing demand for its battlefield rides.<\/p>\n
The Iron First system delivers 360-degree protection against various anti-armor threats, including rockets, guided missiles, drones, loitering munitions and kinetic-energy tank rounds.<\/p>\n
The deal with BAE comes a day after Elbit announced another contract for the same dollar amount to supply its J-Music countermeasure system to an unnamed European country.<\/p>\n
That system is designed to protect aircraft from shoulder-fired missiles. It combines laser technology with imaging capabilities, and is installed on a variety of military and commercial aircraft.<\/p>\n
