Elbit sells new batch of Iron Fist protective kit for CV90 vehicles

JERUSALEM — Elbit Systems will supply Iron Fist active protection systems to BAE Systems Hägglunds in a $150 million deal, the Israeli company announced on Tuesday.

The technology is to be installed on the vehicle maker’s CV90 infantry fighting vehicle used by European NATO members.

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’s ability to defeat advanced kinetic energy (KE) threats.

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.

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.

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.

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.

耶路撒冷——以色列公司埃尔比特系统公司周二宣布，将以 1.5 亿美元的价格向 BAE 系统公司哈格隆德分公司供应“铁拳”主动防护系统。

这项技术将安装在该车辆制造商生产的CV90步兵战车上，该战车供欧洲北约成员国使用。

Elbit公司表示，这份新合同是在2025年9月取得里程碑式成就之后签订的，当时该公司在欧洲进行了一次实弹演示，展示了“铁拳”系统击败先进动能（KE）威胁的能力。

该公司此前曾宣布获得将其防御系统集成到CV90装甲车上的合同。就在几个月前，这家瑞典车辆制造商还报告称，其战场用车的需求正在增长。

“铁先”系统可提供 360 度防护，抵御各种反装甲威胁，包括火箭弹、制导导弹、无人机、巡飞弹和动能坦克炮弹。

与 BAE 达成协议的前一天，Elbit 宣布与一家未透露名称的欧洲国家签订了一份金额相同的合同，向其提供 J-Music 对抗系统。

该系统旨在保护飞机免受肩扛式导弹的攻击。它结合了激光技术和成像功能，并安装在各种军用和民用飞机上。
