Elbit Systems to Showcase Advanced Military Tech at Morocco Air Show

Elbit Systems will participate for the first time in the Marrakech Air Show 2026, scheduled for October 7-10 at the Royal Moroccan Air Force base. The Israeli defense contractor will exhibit a range of systems including drones, artillery, precision munitions, electronic warfare, and intelligence solutions.

This announcement follows a strong trading day for Elbit's stock, which surged approximately 6% on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange to around 2,215 shekels, bringing its market capitalization back above 100 billion shekels. The stock also saw gains on Wall Street but is expected to open with a negative arbitrage gap in Tel Aviv.

Elbit's presence in Marrakech is significant given the growing defense relationship between Israel and Morocco. Reports indicate Morocco has already acquired Elbit's PULS rocket system in a deal valued at approximately $150 million, with deliveries extending to 2026. Last year, the Moroccan army reportedly tested Elbit's precision rockets.

Key exhibits will include the Hermes 900 large drone for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. Elbit will also display autonomous systems like THOR, Magni-X, and FireFox-X, the PULS rocket system, SkyStriker loitering munitions, and LIZARD laser-guided munitions. The company will also present the MINI MUSIC self-defense system, designed to protect aircraft from shoulder-fired missiles, and the SPECTRO-12 multispectral sensor for intelligence and targeting. Communication systems, aerial digitization solutions, and pilot training simulators will also be featured.

While this announcement does not include a new contract or order, defense exhibitions serve as crucial meeting points for companies and military delegations. Elbit is entering a market where it already has a commercial foothold, focusing its display on systems like PULS and Hermes 900 to expand sales in the region.
