Active Protection Systems (APS) are designed to safeguard vehicles by thwarting anti-tank threats, ensuring the safety of both the crew and the vehicle. These systems incorporate a combination of countermeasures aimed at either concealing the vehicle from potential threats or disrupting the guidance of incoming dangers.
Active Protection Systems can be broadly categorized into hardware and software components. The hardware encompasses devices such as sensors and radars that constitute the protective system. Kill system variants, including the soft kill system, hard kill system, and reactive armor, play a crucial role in enhancing the overall defense capabilities. These protective measures are applicable across diverse platforms, namely land-based, airborne, and marine environments. The end users benefiting from these systems span across defense and homeland security sectors. The integration of APS in various scenarios contributes significantly to the survivability and resilience of both personnel and assets.

This active protection systems market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The active protection systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.67 billion in 2023 to $3.91 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth observed during the historical period can be ascribed to a combination of factors, including the escalating threats and conflicts on a global scale, ongoing military modernization initiatives, heightened investments in defense capabilities, the susceptibility of armored vehicles to potential risks, and growing apprehensions regarding the safety of soldiers.
The active protection systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.07 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to several key factors, including the rising demand for lightweight and integrated Active Protection Systems (APS), heightened global security concerns, ongoing military modernization initiatives, the upward trajectory of defense budgets, and the integration of APS with future vehicle platforms. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period encompass advancements in interceptor technologies, a growing adoption of soft-kill systems, the evolution of next-generation hard-kill systems, the integration of APS with other defensive systems, and the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning into these systems.
The anticipated surge in terrorist attacks and threats is poised to fuel the expansion of the active protection systems market. These systems serve as a defense against such attacks, offering protection from short-range maneuverable projectiles such as sea-skimming weapons and anti-tank-guided missiles. According to the Global Terrorism Index (GTI) report released in 2021 by the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP), the worldwide count of terrorist attacks reached 5,226 in 2021, reflecting a concerning escalation. Additionally, the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict is expected to contribute to a surge in both traditional and cyber terrorism. Consequently, the heightened threat scenario is a significant driver propelling the growth of the active protection systems market.
The upswing in defense expenditure is poised to drive the expansion of the active protection systems market. This expenditure encompasses the total financial allocation by governments towards military forces and activities, providing the necessary resources for the development, procurement, and maintenance of active protection systems for military purposes. Notably, as per the Ministry of Defense (MOD) departmental resources 2022, published by gov.UK in December 2022, the defense spending for 2021-2022 amounted to $76.25 billion (71.4 Euros), marking a substantial increase of $46.88 billion (43.9 euros) from the previous year. This surge in financial resources allocated to defense activities is a driving force behind the growth of the active protection systems market.
The emergence of innovative active protection systems stands as a significant trend driving momentum within the active protection systems market. Major industry players are actively engaged in developing cutting-edge protection systems to maintain their competitive edge. For instance, ASELSAN, a Turkey-based arms manufacturing company, initiated the development of the KAMA active protection system in May 2021. This system aims to provide products with minimal environmental impact, equipped with a self-defense mechanism to mitigate losses and their subsequent effects, thus highlighting the growing trend towards innovative solutions within the active protection systems market.
Prominent entities within the active protection systems market are dedicated to product innovation, exemplified by the creation of Iron Fist, a hard-kill active protection system (APS) tailored to deliver steadfast solutions for customers. Iron Fist boasts a modular design, offering adaptability across a spectrum of platforms, ranging from light utility vehicles to heavily armored fighting vehicles. Elbit Systems Ltd., an Israel-based defense contractor, unveiled Iron Fist in August 2023, positioning it as a robust defense mechanism against anti-tank threats, significantly enhancing platform survivability. This system ensures 360-degree protection for armored platforms, featuring a fixed active electronically scanned array radar sensor designed to detect incoming threats. Available in two versions - IFLK (Iron Fist Light Kinetic) catering to tanks and heavy infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), and IFLD (Iron Fist Light Decoupled) tailored for light to medium infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) - Iron Fist stands as a versatile and adaptable defense solution.
