Elbit Systems nets $330M in defense deals to deliver naval warfare tech

Israel-based technology company Elbit Systems has been awarded several contracts by international partners, including NATO member countries, to deliver a broad range of naval solutions.

The awarded programs include the delivery of advanced anti-submarine warfare (ASW) solutions, such as the TRAPS towed sonar system, along with combat management systems (CMS), electronic warfare, and electro-optic systems.

They also cover modernization and upgrade projects for naval platforms, including offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) and frigates, as well as intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, the Seagull unmanned surface vessel (USV), and tailored ASW sonar solutions.

These systems are designed to enhance situational awareness, survivability, and operational effectiveness in complex maritime environments.

These contracts have an aggregate total value of approximately $330 million.

“The maritime domain represents an important growth engine for Elbit Systems, combining our internally developed capabilities with the assets and expertise acquired through strategic acquisitions. These recent contract wins highlight the increasing recognition of our technological leadership and the strong confidence that leading naval forces place in our ability to deliver cutting-edge, mission-ready solutions that meet the demands of today’s evolving operational landscape,” Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, President and CEO of Elbit Systems, said.

Elbit Systems is updating its naval systems to meet the growing needs for improved coordination across domains, real-time information, and robust defense. The company uses modular, open designs to make it easier to add their systems to current naval platforms and adjust them as missions change.

Their technologies are already used by several navies around the world in tasks such as coastal monitoring, fleet defense, special operations, and tracking submarines.

In March this year, the Israeli firm, together with Rafael Advanced Defence Systems, received a contract to supply a naval decoy control & launching system (DCLS) for the new frigates of NATO European countries.
