Leonardo DRS has received an undefinitised contract action to provide additional Trophy active protection systems (APS) for the US Army and Marine Corps, the company announced on 8 January.
The contract action, initially worth $79.6 million, brings the total funded value of the programme to over $200 million.
The Trophy system, developed by Leonardo’s partner Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, provides protection against anti-armour rocket and missile threats, while at the same time locating and reporting the origin of the hostile fire for immediate response.
