Elbit Systems has announced that Elbit Systems of America's subsidiary, M7 Aerospace LLC ("M7"), was awarded a $7.5 million Firm, Fixed Price contract by the U.S. Navy to perform modifications on United States Naval Test Pilot School's ("USNTPS") C-26 aircraft. Upgrades will be completed by September 2016 in San Antonio, Texas.
