HAIFA - Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: ESLT
("Elbit Systems"), announced today that it was awarded a contract
from the Australian Defence Force (ADF) for the supply of Battle Management
Systems (BMS) for the Royal Australian Navy's landing craft. The contract is in
an amount that is not material to Elbit Systems.
The systems are to be integrated into landing craft
installed on board the Canberra Class Amphibious ships (LHD). The watercraft
will enable transport of troops and equipment from the LHDs to the shore
including where there are no fixed port facilities and will allow communication
and connectivity with the Infantry Forces in joint operations.
Elbit Systems has been supplying its BMS to the Australian
Army under the defence network-centric "Land 75/125" Program, one of
the largest BMS programs in the world.
Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, General Manager of Elbit Systems'
Land and C[4]I Division commented: "The fact that the Australian Defence
Force, one of the most advanced and modern armies in the world, has decided to
also equip its Navy with our Battle Management Systems, attests to its
satisfaction with the quality and maturity of our systems". Machlis added:
"This decision also reflects the need of world leading armies to enhance
the connectivity and communication between their divisions, and we trust that
additional customers will follow and select our advanced Battle Management
Systems."
