Elbit developed the Iron Fist in line with modern requirements. The APS offers protection against hollow charge warheads and can be reloaded whenever or wherever necessary, differing from Trophy. This brings ease of operation and reduces costs as well. Iron Fist has a different interception method, so the launcher requires less maintenance than its predecessor.
Active protection systems are more critical today. They are increasing and evolving hollow charge threat dimension, making APS necessary, especially in urban and asymmetrical environments.
