Elbit Systems has secured contracts worth approximately $200 million from an undisclosed customer in the Asia-Pacific region for airborne intelligence, surveillance, targeting and reconnaissance systems, training solutions and cockpit display equipment. The contracts will be performed over a period of up to five years.
Under the agreements, Elbit Systems will supply its SPECTRO 12 multispectral intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting payload for integration on helicopters.
SPECTRO 12 is the latest member of the company’s SPECTRO family and is designed for airborne platforms with tight size, weight and power limitations. According to Elbit Systems, the payload combines high-resolution multispectral sensing with precision targeting capabilities, including a laser designator, as well as AI-based image processing.
The system is intended to support long-range target detection, identification, tracking and engagement in complex operational environments and under adverse weather conditions.
Support for Airborne Training Systems
The contracts also include follow-on support and upgrade services for airborne live training systems already installed on aircraft. These systems are used in live, virtual and constructive training environments and support both air-to-air and air-to-ground scenarios.
According to the company, they provide real-time combat simulation, weapon scoring and mission debriefing capabilities designed to improve pilot readiness and training effectiveness.
Elbit’s Head-Up Displays Also Included
Elbit Systems will also supply advanced Head-Up Display systems. The HUDs feature high-resolution display technology, enhanced video capabilities and relatively low power consumption, and are intended to support both day and night operations across a range of airborne platforms.
Bezhalel Machlis, President and CEO of Elbit Systems, said the contracts reflect the company’s ability to combine airborne sensor, training and display technologies across a broad range of missions. The identity of the Asia-Pacific customer was not disclosed.
