Elbit Systems announced on Sunday that it has been awarded contracts totaling approximately $200 million from an unspecified Asia-Pacific country. These agreements, spanning up to five years, are for intelligence gathering, observation, target acquisition (ISTAR), and aerial training solutions.
Under the terms of the contracts, Elbit will supply its Spectro 12 multi-spectral intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and target acquisition payloads, designed for installation on helicopters. The Spectro 12 is the latest addition to Elbit's Spectro family of airborne payloads, featuring high-resolution sensors, advanced target acquisition technologies including a laser designator, and AI-based image processing for long-range detection and tracking in challenging conditions.
The contracts also encompass ongoing support and upgrade services for live training systems installed on aircraft. These systems facilitate realistic air-to-air and air-to-ground training, including real-time combat simulations and post-mission analysis, aimed at enhancing pilot readiness.
Additionally, Elbit will provide advanced Head-Up Displays (HUDs) with high-resolution displays, advanced video capabilities, and low power consumption for various aerial platforms, operating day and night.
This deal follows a recent announcement last week where Elbit secured a $235 million contract with a European client for its Extra-MR rocket system. Globes later revealed this client to be Azerbaijan, which will receive the medium-range version of Elbit's supersonic Extra rocket system, along with PULSE launchers and other artillery platforms.
