Elbit to supply Asian countries with Electro-Optical Payloads

Elbit Systems has announced that it was awarded contracts by several customers in Asia to supply many dozens of observation systems for maritime patrol aircraft, vessels and observation towers.

The total value of these new contracts is approximately $20 million, to be supplied over three years.

Under the above mentioned contracts, Elbit Systems Electro-optics Elop Ltd. ("Elop") will deliver various payloads from the CoMPASS family, including also the Micro CoMPASS, a lightweight electro-optical system already in use by armies around the world, as well as the DCoMPASS, a highly advanced system that provides users with high resolution digital imagery for both day and night.

DCoMPASS is installed onboard patrol aircraft, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), coastguard vessels and frigates that demand long-range observation, aiming and target designation and tracking.

These contracts follow Elbit Systems' award of another $20 million contract, to supply an Asian country with dozens of CoMPASS payloads for maritime patrol aircraft.
