Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: ESLT) has been awarded a contract to supply multi spectral BrightNite systems to an air force in a NATO country, the company said.
The contract, in an amount of approximately USD 17 million, will be performed over a thirty-month period.
By projecting data on the pilot´s helmet, Brightnite enables helicopter pilots to fly in a degraded visual environment (DVE), in adverse weather conditions, and other factors limiting a pilot´s field of view. BrightNite delivers a clear visual of the landscape, flight data, and mission data, directly to both of the pilot´s eyes, enabling intuitive flight in a head-up, eyes-out orientation in pitch dark and other DVE and low visibility landing conditions.
Elbit Systems is an international high technology company engaged in a wide range of defense, homeland security, and commercial programs. The company, which includes Elbit Systems and its subsidiaries, operates in the areas of aerospace; land and naval systems; command, control, communications, computers, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR); unmanned aircraft systems; advanced electro-optics, communications systems, cyber-based systems, and others.
