Elbit receives CLRF-IC contract from USMC
Elbit Systems of America has received a contract from the US Marine Corps (USMC) for the Common Laser Range Finder-Integrated Capability (CLRF-IC), the company announced on 22 March.
The period of this $73.4 million, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract extends through March 2020. Under this contract, Elbit has received an initial order worth $7.5 million.
Raanan Horowitz, president and CEO, Elbit Systems of America, said: 'We are pleased to provide the USMC with their new rugged CLRF-IC, a lightweight system that is mission-ready and safer for the foot-mobile marine.
'Leveraging the innovative capabilities of our imaging, range finding, and degraded environment navigation solutions, marines are now able to acquire targets without breaking cover from their concealed fighting positions and minimise impact while on the move.'
The CLRF-IC replaces the USMC's current equipment with a system with 24-hour observation capability, the ability to confirm spot on target with laser designation systems and target location capability in magnetically disturbed environments, areas with overhead clutter, and in GPS-denied situations.
