Additionally, Elbit Systems will supply advanced capabilities from its command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems.
Bezhalel Machlis, Elbit Systems president and CEO, said the contract demonstrates the strong European demand for its technologies.
“Elbit Systems’ comprehensive portfolio has proven itself operationally in the battlefield and is highly regarded by its users, and we are proud to support a European nation in strengthening its national security through this strategic partnership,” he said.
