I guess as long as Iron Fist can detect that within a certain range, and fire a countermeasure that can destroy the copper plate in mind, I guess it'll work. It also depends on the orientation of the projectile launcher. If the mine is within 50 meters and below it may not be likely that the APS can detect and destroy it.
Again, it goes back to the specs of the APS. For ARENA-E, it's 50m for detection then a few seconds later it's engaged by a countermeasure. And even then, from what I read the countermeasure for the ARENA-E is mainly to engage missiles and RPGs. I'm not sure if the flacchettes of the ARENA-E countermeasure would likely destroy the plate. Perhaps slow it down, but not destroy it. (Because the plate isn't the same thing as an RPG or an ATGM, it carries no explosive only energy)
It's noted that you say Iron Fist can engage KEPs, so perhaps if it can detect the projectile and manage to destroy it, I guess it can work. EFPs aren't so much different from KEPs. Both of them use kinetic energy, of course in different applications but more or less. From what I understand, the EFP works pretty much like HEAT round, but I might be wrong so please do tell me if I am.
