Also known as Tzayad, DAP is a secure C4I network that networks Israel’s headquarter commanders and service branches with armour, infantry, artillery and other speciality forces down to brigade level, as reported DefenseNews.

Speaking to the publication after the contract award, Machlis said: "We’re talking about a technological upgrade that will provide an enormous leap in combat effectiveness that comes from networked operations.

"It will allow us to transition from the transfer of information to the transfer of knowledge … All based on the secure, robust digital net that has proven itself so well in recent years."

Elbit has also received contracts worth a combined $54m to supply and maintain IMOD’s advanced electro-optics systems.
