The contract to provide drones and associated infrastructure to the unnamed country will be carried out over a period of 22 months.
According to the terms of the deal, Elbit said it will supply more than 1,000 THOR Multi-Rotor Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) mini-UAS, as well as scores of Skylark LEX, Skylark 3 and Hermes 450 tactical UAS and Universal Ground Control Stations.
“This contract award underlines our competitive edge as armies increasingly view multi-layered UAS solutions as key to providing superior intelligence while maintaining a high level of operational flexibility,” said Elbit Systems president and CEO Bezhalel “Butzi” Machlis.
In May, Elbit said it would supply vehicular tactical radio systems worth $127m. to an unnamed South Asian army.
Tactical radios supplied over a three-year period will include configurations for integrating on-board armored fighting vehicles and tanks at battalion and company level.
