Exhibit 1
ISRAEL AIR FORCE TO BE EQUIPPED WITH
ELBIT SYSTEMS’ LIZARD LASER-
GUIDED BOMBS
Haifa, Israel, September 30,
2007 -Elbit Systems
Ltd. (NASDAQ:ESLT) reported today
that it had been selected to equip the
Israel Air Force (IAF) with its Lizard laser-guided bombs. Contract value is several
$Millions
and the initial supply
of the systems
to the IAF has
already begun.
Lizard, a sophisticated new generation laser-guided bomb incorporates decades of Elbit
Systems in-house technological expertise. The system which will be used for air-to-surface
attack of diverse targets
inflicts pinpoint
damage while substantially reducing collateral damage. The current laser designator is
designed for warheads of various sizes.
Elbit Systems has already supplied the Lizard laser-guided bomb kit to several
international customers including NATO-member countries. The performance-proven LIZARD has
already generated repeat orders from existing customers.
According to Yoram Shmueli, Joint General Manager of Elbit Systems’ Airborne
division, the decision to equip the IAF with Lizard represents an important breakthrough
for Elbit Systems as a major supplier of laser-guided systems. Mr. Shmueli added,
“the use of lasers for pinpoint accuracy and reduced collateral damage is in
increased demand amongst the world’s advanced air forces, and the fact that the IAF
has chosen Elbit Systems’ Lizard will lead to increased orders for the system
worldwide.
