Elbit Systems to supply Airborne EW suites to Asian customer
Elbit Systems has secured a contract worth $103 million to supply its Airborne EW suits for the air force of an undisclosed Asian country.
In a statement on 26 April, Elbit confirmed that the suites will be installed on rotary-wing aircraft and will include countermeasure systems and long-term integrated logistical support.
Edgar Maimon, executive VP and general manager of Elbit Systems EW and SIGINT-Elisra, said: ‘Demand for combat-proven EW systems is getting stronger as the electro-magnetic spectrum becomes increasingly contested and the threat to aircraft gets more acute.’
