General Dynamics Land Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics, has been awarded a contract worth up to $280 million for Trophy Ready Kits as an Active Protection System (APS) for US Army Abrams main battle tanks.
Trophy rapidly detects, classifies and engages threats such as recoilless rifles, antitank guided missiles, rockets, tank rounds and rocket-propelled grenades. The detection of threats, including launch location, allows Abrams tank crews to rapidly handle targets.
The kits will be added to M1A2 SEPv2 and M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams tanks as needed, continuing their fielding across the US Army.
“We are honored to have been chosen by the Army to continue to provide this important capability to keep tank crew members and their vehicles safe on the battlefield,” said Gordon Stein, vice president of US operations at General Dynamics Land Systems.
Work on the indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract is expected to extend into mid-2027.
