JERUSALEM - Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and South Korea's Hyundai Rotem signed a teaming agreement to put Rafael's Trophy active protection system on Hyundai Rotem's K2 main battle tank. The deal, signed Thursday at MSPO in Poland, covers integration, production, marketing, localization, and full lifecycle support. Rafael said the pact builds on an earlier memorandum of understanding and will make Trophy available for K2 tanks Poland is acquiring while enabling work on a Korean APS based on Trophy. Some components will be designed and produced in South Korea for current and future K2 variants and other Hyundai Rotem platforms.

A Rafael official said an agreement for K2PL tanks for Poland is being finalized, with local production over the next two years in Poznan. Poland decided in 2023 to produce and service K2s locally. Trophy has long equipped Israel's tanks and has been fielded on US Abrams and integrated on Germany's Leopard 2. The firms cast the move as boosting battlefield survivability.
