Elbit Systems awarded $200 million contracts to supply equipment to an unnamed European country
The deal will supply artillery C4I solutions and hostile fire counterattack solutions
Elbit Systems announced that it was awarded two contracts by an unnamed European country worth an aggregate amount of approximately $200 million. The deal means that the company will supply a C4I (Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Intelligence) solution to artillery battalions and a Hostile Fire Counter Attack (HFCA) solution. The contracts are in place until 2026 with options for additional extension if needed.
“We are honored by the trust placed in us and our products once again and will continue with our commitment to grow and expand our local know-how and capabilities in support of our customers,” said Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, President and CEO of Elbit Systems. “Elbit systems' solutions increase operational effectiveness and allow our customers to better utilize their firepower while increasing their accuracy and lethality. These contracts validate the technological and operational advantages offered by our solutions."
The C4I solution will provide advanced C4I capabilities to four battalions of 155mm howitzers guns, including Elbit Systems' SDR radios – the E-Lynx and TORCH-X Fire applications. It will allow the customer, who remains undisclosed, to command its artillery battalions and increase the effectiveness of its weapon systems as the HFCA solution will allow the customer to detect enemy fire sources and destroy them using Elbit Systems' artillery C4I solution.
These solutions will be integrated into the customer's wider artillery C4I system which was also provided by Elbit Systems.
