Will Provide A European Country With UAS-Based Advanced Intelligence Systems

An unnamed European country has awarded a contract worth some $78 million to Elbit Systems to supply an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)-based cutting-edge intelligence solution.

The contract will be performed over a two-year period by Elbit Systems' ISTAR Division, established several months ago, as a result of  combining Elbit Systems' Electro-optics – Elop and UAS Divisions.

The solution will consist, among other elements, of AMPS (Advanced Multi-Sensor Payload System) - a multi-sensor electro-optics system capable of long-range visual intelligence for both day and night. The system is adaptable for a large variety of airborne applications and serves as an important building block for the integrated intelligence solution.

"We develop and tailor end-to-end solutions that meet the demands and specific expectations of our customers," said Elad Aharonson, General Manager of Elbit Systems ISTAR Division, in a news release. "I believe that our systematic capabilities, that enable an optimal integration between UAS and our intelligence systems, will enhance our position as a world leader in ISTAR activities resulting in further achievements in the international market."
