Elbit Systems details US Army mortar IDIQ
Elbit Systems of America will produce mortar weapon systems under a $103 million indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract with the US Army, the company announced on 23 November.
The five year contract includes an initial purchase order of undisclosed value.
The company has signed a memorandum of understanding with the US Army’s Watervliet Arsenal, New York, which will effectively act as a subcontractor on various mortar components.
