Supply and Installation over Four-Year Period

Elbit Systems announced on 10 February that it has been awarded contracts valued at approximately $136 million (€124.2 million) to provide airborne laser Direct Infra-Red Counter Measure (DIRCM) systems to customers in the Asia-Pacific region over a four-year period.

Under the contracts, Elbit Systems will equip fleets of Airbus and Boeing aircraft with DIRCM systems from the MUSIC family, including the company’s infra-red missile warning systems. These contract awards follow recent awards to install DIRCM systems onboard Airbus A400 aircraft of the German Air Force and on NATO’s Airbus A330 Multinational Multi-Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) fleet.
