EuroTrophy produces and sells the Trophy® Active Protection System (APS), a hard-kill active protection system that detects, classifies, tracks, and automatically neutralizes incoming anti-tank threats such as ATGMs, RPGs, HEAT rounds, and UAS, and integrates the system onto armored vehicles for European NATO and EU defense forces. The company also provides vehicle integration engineering, operational/logistical/technical training, spare parts, and through-life maintenance and field-support services for the APS across European user nations.
Product overview
EuroTrophy provides the Trophy® Active Protection System (APS), a Hard-Kill Active Protection System that is combat-proven and NATO-fielded since 2011. The core Trophy APS product is a sophisticated military defense system that detects, tracks, intercepts, and neutralizes incoming threats including anti-tank missiles, rockets, and RPGs. The company offers the system along with comprehensive services including vehicle integration support, operational/logistical/technical training, and through-life support. Additional capabilities include the Silent Mode (using Othello passive EO sensor for radar-silent operation) and Fire Source Location (FSL) capability for detecting and sharing enemy fire locations. EuroTrophy serves as the European hub for Trophy APS, producing the system in Germany through technology transfer from Rafael.

EuroTrophy competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems: RAFAEL is the original developer of Trophy APS and a founding JV parent of EuroTrophy. It supplies Trophy technology globally (including outside Europe) and is a broader defense prime with overlapping active protection and survivability offerings.
- KNDS: KNDS is both a founding JV parent and the principal vehicle OEM partner for EuroTrophy (Leopard 2, Boxer). It manufactures the platforms Trophy is integrated onto and could theoretically bundle alternative APS offerings on future platforms.
- Rheinmetall: Major German defense prime that manufactures armored vehicles (Leopard 2 subsystems, Lynx, Boxer components) and is developing or could integrate competing APS and survivability suites, making it both a potential partner and competitor.
- General Dynamics Land Systems / GDELS: GDELS is a founding JV parent and one of the largest Western armored combat vehicle manufacturers (Abrams, ASCOD, Piranha). It provides EuroTrophy with platform integration channels and competes in adjacent survivability and vehicle electronics markets.
Emerging players
- Hensoldt: German defense electronics and sensor specialist that supplies detection/tracking subsystems relevant to APS and broader vehicle survivability suites, making it both a potential supplier and competitor in the active protection sensor layer.
- Leonardo DRS: US-based defense electronics and survivability provider whose vehicle protection and active protection work overlaps with EuroTrophy's offerings, particularly for Western platforms and US-allied NATO customers.
- Saab (Barracuda / Vehicle Survivability): Swedish defense company with vehicle survivability offerings (signature management, soft-kill and hybrid protection concepts) that compete with or complement EuroTrophy's hard-kill Trophy APS in European procurement competitions.
Direct peers
- Elbit Systems (Iron Fist APS): Elbit Systems' Iron Fist is the principal direct competitor to Trophy APS in the hard-kill active protection system category, targeting the same armored vehicle platforms and defense ministry customers with a comparable hard-kill solution.
- Patria: Finnish armored vehicle OEM (AMV XP) and EuroTrophy integration partner. Comparable in offering 8x8 platforms that require APS integration and competes for similar European armored vehicle modernization budgets.
Others
- IAI Elta Systems: Developer of the Othello passive EO sensor used in Trophy Silent Mode. IAI is an adjacent defense electronics prime with broader surveillance and APS-adjacent capabilities that intersect with EuroTrophy's technology stack.
