Elbit Systems has received an $85 million contract from the Israeli Ministry of Defense to supply electronic warfare (EW) suites for the Israeli Navy Sa'ar 6-class corvettes.
Under the ten year contract the company will supply combat proven digital receivers, signal processing technologies and analysis tools. All systems have open system architecture, enabling effective operational capabilities while maintaining flexibility to cope with both current and future threats.
The new class of corvettes will be tasked with the protection of Israel's Economic Exclusion Zone.
