Systems Ltd.’s (the “Company) subsidiary, Elbit Systems Electro-Optics
Elop Ltd. (“Elop”) recently was awarded a contract to supply
long-range observation and target acquisition systems to the Israel Ministry
of Defense ("IMOD"). The contract, to be supplied over a three-year

This award to Elop is a follow-on to an IMOD contract received in 2011 for the development and production of mobile observation and target acquisition systems for the Field Intelligence Corps. Since then, the systems have already been deployed operationally by the Israel Defense Forces ("IDF"), gaining recognition for their high-quality performance. Adi Dar, General Manager of Elbit Systems Electro-Optics Elop, noted: “These unique systems are considered as world leaders. Light-weight and capable of performing high-quality observation in day, night and low visibility conditions, they have generated significant interest among international customers. The current contract with the IMOD further positions Elop as a world leader in the electro-optic field, and I trust that further international customers will follow the IDF and select this advanced system.” |
