BAE Systems Wins U.S. Army Contract for Vehicle Protection System

Dow Jones

By Adriano Marchese

BAE Systems has been awarded an contract to equip ground vehicles with advanced electronic warfare capabilities for the U.S. Army.

The defense, aerospace and security company on Wednesday said that it has been awarded the Soft Kill Active Protection System program of record by the U.S. Army.

The Army will use BAE's Rapid Optical Observation and Kill system, also known as ROOK. Unlike "hard kill" systems that fire munitions to intercept incoming missiles, "soft kill" systems block incoming missiles and drones by scrambling their guidance.

The contract will also fund continued work on BAE's Stormcrow and Terra Raven countermeasure systems and includes the delivery of prototype equipment for installation and testing on Army vehicles.
