HAIFA, Israel, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Elbit
Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: ESLT) (TASE: ESLT) ("Elbit
Systems" or "the Company") announced today that it was
awarded an approximately $15 million
initial contract from the Dutch Ministry of Defense to supply
XACT nv32 micro night vision monocular systems for the Armed
Forces of the Netherlands. The
initial contract will be performed over a period of two-years, with
the potential for additional follow-on orders over a period of
seven-years.
This contract award joins previous contracts in the Netherlands in the fields of digital
soldier systems and network-combat warfare systems, most notably
for the VOSS program.
Compact and light weight, with a flip-up head/helmet adapter,
XACT nv32 provides high resolution images under adverse
conditions while minimizing Line-Of-Sight deviation and is suitable
for mounted and dismounted soldiers, Special Forces and
law-enforcement teams. Elbit Systems' XACT product family is
already operational with a number of NATO countries, including
Germany, as well as with the
Israeli and the Australian Armed Forces.

Manager of Elbit Systems ISTAR, commented: "This
contract award follows a number of important contracts awarded to
Elbit Systems in recent years in the
Netherlands. We see the
Netherlands as a key market for Elbit Systems, and we intend
to continue strengthening our local industrial cooperation and
investments in the Netherlands in
the years to come".
