Elbit Systems announces new contract
An undisclosed European country has awarded a contract to Elbit Systems for the supply of an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)-based intelligence solution, the company announced on 6 September.
Elbit Systems' ISTAR division will execute the $78 million contract over a two-year period.
The solution provided by the company will include an Advanced Multi-Sensor Payload System (AMPS) - a multi-sensor electro-optics system that enables long-range visual intelligence for night and day operations. The system can be used for various airborne applications.
Elad Aharonson, general manager of Elbit Systems ISTAR division, said: ‘We are proud of this contract award to supply a solution that answers the current and future requirements of the high level intelligence systems' market. We develop and tailor end-to-end solutions that meet the demands and specific expectations of our customers.
'I believe that our systematic capabilities, that enable an optimal integration between UAS and our intelligence systems, will enhance our position as a world leader in ISTAR activities resulting in further achievements in the international market.’
