India: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has initiated the development of an APS tailored for India's T-90 Main Battle Tanks (MBTs). Following clearance in 2023, the fabrication phase is underway, with system testing expected to commence either later this year or early next year. The APS aims to detect, track, and intercept incoming threats such as anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) and tank rounds, thereby enhancing the survivability of the T-90 tanks on the modern battlefield.
United Kingdom: In September 2023, RAFAEL, an Israeli defense technology company, was awarded a USD 20 million contract by the UK Ministry of Defence to integrate the TROPHY APS onto Challenger 3 Main Battle Tanks. This decision followed rigorous evaluations and live-fire tests conducted towards the end of 2022, where the system demonstrated remarkable effectiveness by intercepting over 90% of threats aimed at the Challenger 3 tanks. The integration of TROPHY APS is expected to significantly bolster the defensive capabilities of the UK's armored fleet
