Elbit supports UK target acquisition effort
Elbit Systems UK wins place on Dismounted Joint Fires Integrators programme.
The UK MoD has selected Elbit Systems UK as industry partner in the Dismounted Joint Fires Integrators (D-JFI) programme, in a deal worth about £100 million ($137 million).
The D-JFI to be provided by Elbit Systems UK in this five-year contract is an AI-based networked, passive and active target acquisition solution for JTAC and fire support team operations. Various Elbit technologies are integrated, including the TORCH-X C2 system, HattoriX fire support system, CORAL multi-spectral EO payload and Rattler extended-range laser desginator.
This solution will interface with radio communication systems used by the British Army, RAF and Royal Marines. It leverages the experience of Elbit in providing dismounted network combat solutions, the company noted in a 21 January statement.
Elbit Systems UK already supports the MoD in the Battlefield Management Application, Joint Fires Mobile Trainer and Joint Fires Synthetic Training programmes.
