HAIFA, Israel, June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Elbit
Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: ESLT) (TASE:
ESLT) ("Elbit Systems") announced today that its U.S.
subsidiary, Elbit Systems of America, LLC ("Elbit Systems of
America"), recently was awarded two orders with an aggregate value
of approximately $29 million by the
U.S. Army's Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier under an
Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (ID/IQ) contract issued in
2020. The orders will be executed from the Elbit Systems of America
facility in Roanoke, Virginia with
deliveries through September
2021.
Under the orders, Elbit Systems of America will upgrade the U.S.
Army active duty and National Guard rotary-wing aviation units'
AN/AVS-6 Aviator's Night Vision Imaging Systems (ANVIS) with high
performance white phosphor image intensifier tubes. The night
vision upgrade to the U.S. Army fleet's legacy ANVIS goggles will
replace the existing green image intensification. White phosphor
enhances the ANVIS goggles as it presents visuals in black and
white detail, which may appear more natural to the eye. The new
image intensification tubes will also provide better contrast,
along with high image resolution at greater distances for
pilots.
Raanan Horowitz, President and
CEO of Elbit Systems of America, said: "U.S. Army pilots can
successfully achieve their mission and fly with confidence in any
light conditions. Upgrading the U.S. Army aviation fleet's goggles
to high performance white phosphor provides improved clarity.
Whether soldiers are on the ground or in the air, our team is
committed to providing advanced capabilities to the U.S. Army to
suit their evolving night vision needs."
