"The M2A4E1 is the most modern and survivable version of the Bradley as a result of integrating an Iron Fist Active Protection System," according to a post on PEO GCS's official Facebook page. The new variant also has and "improved High Definition Forward Looking Infrared Gunner’s Sight and an Environmental Control Unit to prevent heat stress for dismounts."
As installed on the M2A4E1, Iron Fist Light consists of two countermeasures launchers and four sensor arrays positioned around the vehicle's turret. The sensors, which are small form factor active electronically-scanned array (AESA) radars paired with infrared cameras, are used to detect and cue the launchers, which are turreted themselves. A small interceptor with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead is then fired at the incoming missile or rocket. Israel's Elbit Systems is the manufacturer of Iron Fist and U.S.-based General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems has been serving as the lead integrator of the system onto the Bradley.
All new tanks that want to be more than targets will get this also.
