Elbit Awarded $228M Follow-on Contract to Provide Iron Fist APS for US Army Bradley IFV Upgrades

Elbit Systems Ltd. announced today, following the U.S. Government's publication from September 29, 2025 of an award to General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS) of an order for the Bradley Fighting vehicle Active Protection System (APS), that Elbit Systems has been awarded by GD-OTS a $228 million contract to supply the Company's Iron Fist APS. The contract will be executed over a period of three years.

The Iron Fist APS is an advanced hard-kill active protection system designed to enhance the survivability and self-defense capabilities of armored platforms against a wide range of modern battlefield threats. As the Israel Defense Forces’ second-generation APS, Iron Fist combines high performance with a compact design, characterized by low volume, weight and power requirements. The system delivers 360-degree protection against various anti-armor threats, including Anti-Tank Rockets (ATR), Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM), Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), loitering munitions, and Kinetic-Energy (APFSDS) tank ammunition, in both open terrain and complex urban environments.

This contract follows an initial contract awarded to the Company by GD-OTS, as announced by Elbit Systems on May 5, 2024. Iron Fist APS has been selected by the Israel Defense Forces, as well as by leading NATO and worldwide armies for a variety of fighting platforms, and this contract marks its third selection by the U.S. Army.

Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, President and CEO of Elbit Systems: “Our globally recognized Active Protection System continues to demonstrate its technological edge. As a leading provider in this field, we are proud of our close and strategic partnership with GD-OTS and the U.S. Army, and of the trust placed in us to deliver systems that enhance survivability and protect the lives of American troops in the field.”
