Market Overview

The objective of an anti-tank active protection system (APS) is to stop anti-tank arms from destroying a vehicle by using sensors, launchers, tracking radar, and countermeasure ammunition. Using the help of APSs, ground combat vehicles can be more resilient to threats such as recoilless rifles, anti-tank-guided missiles, and rocket-propelled grenades. In addition to a focus on technologies that improve the survivability of armored vehicles, the anti-tank active protection system (APS) market is a quickly developing segment of the defense market. For Instance, In October 2024, the first Leopard 2 tank equipped with the Israeli TROPHY Active Protection System, established by RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems, was launched by the German and Israeli ministries of defense. Increased consumer awareness, the adoption of new technologies, and innovative product development are some of the factors driving the growth of the anti-tank active protection system market. Technological developments and ongoing innovation are essential to the growth of the anti-tank active protection system market.
