Elbit Systems Ltd. has announced that it will supply the
Israeli Ministry of Transportation with the C-MUSIC system
(commercial multi-spectral infrared countermeasure) under a
contract in the amount of approximately $76 million. The system, to
be supplied by Elbit Systems' wholly owned subsidiary, Elbit
Systems Electro-optics El-Op Ltd., is to be installed aboard a
variety of commercial aircraft owned by Israeli commercial
airlines.
C-MUSIC is based on the MUSIC system, a direct infra-red
countermeasure technology for military aircraft and helicopters
that disrupts missiles fired at aircraft and causes them to veer
off course by transmitting a laser beam.
The systems' reliability, rapid-response and ability to deal with
multiple threats is considered to be among the most advanced
systems of its kind in the world today.
Elbit Systems' MUSIC system completed a series of flight tests
recently.
Joseph Ackerman, president and chief executive officer of Elbit
Systems, said: "We take great pride in the selection of C-MUSIC by
the Israeli Ministry of Transportation and see it as a mission to
assist in protecting commercial aircraft worldwide. This
selection represents a major accomplishment for Elbit Systems and
attests to the quality, innovative technology and advanced
capabilities that we offer to our customers. This is a significant
breakthrough in this field, and we believe that many customers
worldwide will decide to install these systems aboard their
commercial aircraft fleets".
Leading aviation industries and air forces have expressed
increasing interest in the system and its capabilities.
