In addition, the new system is adaptable for several airborne applications and serves as a significant element for the integrated intelligence solution, the company stated.

Aharonson added: “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.”

In August, Elbit Systems secured two contracts to supply directed infrared countermeasures (DIRCM) airborne, multi-spectral, self-protection systems to European and Asian customers.

Under the first contract, Elbit will be responsible for delivering its mini multi-spectral infrared countermeasure (MUSIC) systems for the Asian customer’s Blackhawk helicopter fleet, while the second deal will see the delivery of C-MUSIC systems to a Nato member state.
