The Directorate of Production and Procurement of the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD) has awarded a contract to Elbit Systems for the supply of Electronic Warfare (EW) systems, the company announced on 28 December.
The contract is valued at around $70 million. The systems will be delivered over five years.
Elbit Systems EW and Sigint–Elisra will develop and manufacture the systems, which will be installed on board all types of Israeli Air Force fighter jets.
Bezhalel Machlis, president and CEO, Elbit Systems, said: ‘We are proud to provide the Israeli Air Force, recognised as one of the world's most advanced air forces, advanced EW systems, covering the full range of fighter jets, and we trust that this win will further enhance our position as one of the world's leading EW manufacturers.
‘The modern global air combat arena is extremely challenging, and pilots are facing many new threats. Our systems provide a solution to a wide variety of current and future threats, and we hope that other customers will follow the IMOD and the Israeli Air Force and select our EW systems.’
