Elbit Systems wins maritime C4ISR contract
Elbit Systems has received a two-year contract worth $11 million for the supply of an integrated maritime C4ISR system to an undisclosed navy in the Asia-Pacific region, the company announced on 4 September.
The system will include interconnected coastal sensor towers, naval command centres and maritime C4I capabilities. The company will also provide ongoing maintenance.
The project will support commanders and other users, such as headquarters, command centres, coastal observation posts and vessels, throughout routine and special operations, and will also be used for training and simulation.
Yehuda (Udi) Vered, general manager of Land and C4I, Elbit Systems, said: ‘As a leading C4ISR company, we were able to provide the customer with a complete situational awareness and networked real-time solution, integrating radar, EO systems, radio and communications systems.
‘We witness a growing demand from coastal agencies and navies that are required to secure ports, dams, harbours and waterways while encountering terrorism, illegal immigration, enemy operations and a high volume of vessels and passengers traveling at sea.’
