Israel to Supply Rocket Systems and Drones to Unnamed European Country

The Israeli defense company Elbit Systems will supply an unnamed European country with rocket systems, drones, reconnaissance equipment, and electronic warfare (EW) systems.

The company announced the contract on its official website.

The deal, valued at $1.635 billion, includes the delivery of various defense solutions and systems.

According to the manufacturer’s statement, the contract includes two groups of the company’s advanced technological solutions.

The first group includes long-range precision strike artillery-rocket systems and a broad-spectrum of unmanned reconnaissance and loitering aerial combat systems, from operational to tactical ranges, including personally operated drones.

The second group includes, among others, highly sophisticated ISTAR capabilities, including SIGINT, COMINT and electronic warfare systems.

Enabled intelligence collection and processing systems will also be delivered, along with advanced electro-optical (E/O) and night-vision systems, combat vehicle upgrade, and protective systems.

In addition, Elbit Systems will deliver comprehensive military digitalization and Network Combat Solution, based on the last software generation and cutting-edge hardware communication equipment.

This includes intelligence solutions from the C4ISR suite of command-and-control applications. This integrated solution covers all operational levels, spanning from the strategic army headquarters down to the tactical level, to the last combat vehicle.

The contract is expected to be fulfilled over the next five years.

Previously, the same unnamed European country also ordered Israeli UT30 MK2 turrets for ASCOD infantry fighting vehicles, worth approximately $100 million.

Elbit Systems stated that the turrets would be delivered to European facilities of General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS).
