EuroTrophy has announced a collaboration with Patria to integrate the Trophy Active Protection System (APS) into the Patria AMV XP 8×8.
Trophy APS is designed for various combat situations, handling multiple attacks, simulated engagements, and movement simultaneously.
The integration of the Trophy APS aims to improve the vehicle’s defense capabilities against anti-tank guided missiles, rocket-propelled grenades, small drones, and other anti-armor threats.
Besides protection, Trophy APS supports troops to identify the source of enemy fire and provides the crew with its direction and distance.
This data enables the vehicle’s crew to engage the target using onboard weapons or share the enemy’s location through the battle management system for coordinated response with other units.
The system supports operations in various environments, including deserts, urban areas, snow, and ice.
“The integration between the AMV XP and Trophy brings together a mature solution to potential customers, with both being already fielded and operational in NATO. It also creates new capabilities to handle current and evolving challenges in the Arctic,” stated EuroTrophy.
The first demonstrator vehicle was shown to representatives from several countries in March during Patria’s Arctic Events in Rovaniemi, Finland.
Trophy APS Integration
Several armed forces around the world have equipped their armored vehicles with the Trophy APS systems.
In December last year, KNDS Deutschland signed a contract with EuroTrophy to supply 123 Trophy APSs for Germany’s Leopard 2A8 main battle tanks.
In 2023, the UK awarded Rafael a $26 million contract for Trophy APS testing on the Challenger 3 tank.
