The performance period of this award is two years.

Under the second $133m contract, Elbit will be responsible for supplying two batteries to support PULS artillery rocket-launcher systems, which are deployed for firing missiles, and free flying and precision guided rockets.

Also included in this contract are rockets and missile systems. Deliveries will be performed over the next three years.

Machlis said: “We are witnessing a trajectory of an increased demand for advanced artillery solutions from militaries around the world, including European countries and Nato members as part of their efforts to increase effectiveness of their armed forces.”
