Elbit Systems of America company, M7 Aerospace, has been issued a sub-contract by BAE Systems to provide logistics support for the T-34, T-44, and T-6 aircraft of the US Navy’s aircraft training programme.

Raanan Horowitz, president and CEO, Elbit Systems of America, said: ‘We are pleased to team with BAE Systems for this opportunity and to serve the US Chief of Naval Air Training. At [Elbit Systems of America], our mission is to develop innovative solutions that protect and save our warfighters' lives. With this opportunity we are providing mission capable, safe-for-flight aircraft for our nation’s warriors as they train for the future.’
