Germany; Army orders 123 Trophy APS for Leopard 2A8 Tanks.  

EuroTrophy, a leading European provider of active protection systems (APS), has secured a landmark contract with the Defense Company KNDS Germany to deliver 123 Israeli-made Trophy APS units. These will be integrated into the German Army’s next-generation fleet of Leopard 2A8 Main Battle Tanks (MBTs). The contract, which was officially announced today, also includes the provision of initial spare parts packages and technical services to ensure the successful integration of the Trophy system into the Army’s existing technical, operational, and logistical infrastructure.

This contract marks a significant step in the evolution of the Trophy APS (Active Protection System), as it becomes an integral component of the Leopard 2A8 MBT’s (Main Battle Tanks) standard configuration, further cementing its status as a key asset in modern armored warfare. The Trophy system, which has already seen combat success, provides real-time vehicle protection by intercepting incoming threats, such as anti-tank guided missiles and rocket-propelled grenades.

The award to EuroTrophy is not only a crucial win for the company but also highlights the growing recognition of Trophy as the leading APS within Europe and NATO. This marks the second major contract award for EuroTrophy in the last 12 months, following the Norwegian Army’s selection of Trophy for its Leopard 2A8 fleet. The Norwegian decision underscored Trophy’s proven performance and operational readiness, further strengthening its position as the APS of choice for European armed forces.
