FORT WORTH, Texas, April 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Elbit Systems
of America, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd.
(NASDAQ:ESLT), was awarded a follow-on contract by the US Air

on the F-16 AN/APG-68 Fire Control Radar Modular Low Power Radio
Frequency (MLPRF). (Logo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080408/300488 ) The AN/APG-68
is a long-range, Pulse-Doppler radar originally designed and
manufactured by Northrop Grumman to replace the AN/APG-66 radar in
the F-16 Fighting Falcon Aircraft. The system, designed to detect
targets for the fire control system, consists of four
line-replaceable units (LRUs): an antenna, a dual-mode transmitter
(DMT), the MLPRF, and a programmable signal processor (PSP). The
MLPRF provides a radio frequency drive signal to the DMT and the
basic system clocks to the other LRUs in the radar system. It
receives radio frequency signals from the antenna and converts them
to video signals which are digitized and sent to the PSP for
threat/target matching against the radar threat tables before
sending video to the flight crew system display. Elbit Systems of
America is one of only two companies qualified by the US Air Force
to perform depot level maintenance on the AN/APG-68 MLPRF, DMT and
Antenna. "This award demonstrates our continued commitment to
provide exceptional life-cycle management services in support of
mission readiness requirements, and further compliments our strong
relations with the US Air Force Air Logistics Center," commented
Raanan Horowitz, president and chief executive officer of Elbit
Systems of America. The work on the F-16 AN/APG-68 MLPRF will be
performed by the Elbit Systems of America Service and Support
Solutions Business Unit in the company's Talladega, Alabama
facility. About Elbit Systems of America, LLC Elbit Systems of
