Elbit Systems America has secured contracts exceeding $370 million from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency to supply and install digital continental network equipment for border defense. The deliveries and installations are scheduled to continue through May 2029. Although the company did not disclose the exact scope of the contracts, it is known for producing various sensors and surveillance equipment for border security.

He highlighted the advanced, operationally proven technologies designed to deliver reliable situational awareness and assist clients in managing complex operational challenges.
