Elbit Electro-Optical Systems Ordered For Infantry

The Israeli Ministry of Defense has awarded Elbit Systems a contract to supply advanced sensor systems for infantry, reports the Israeli defense firm.

The 10-year, US$95 million deal covers the supply and maintenance of advanced electro-optical systems for Israeli infantry troops, the company said in a Tuesday release.

The specific equipment was not identified. The sensors would "improve force protection, accuracy and the quick closing of the sensor-to-shooter loop," Elbit officials said.
