Elbit To Supply DIRCM Self-protection Systems For European, Asian Customers

Elbit Systems has won two contracts to supply its MUSIC family of directed infra-red countermeasures (DIRCM) airborne multi-spectral self-protection systems for European and Asian Customers.

The first contract is a follow-on contract from an Asian country to supply its mini MUSIC systems for the customer’s Blackhawk helicopter fleet, the company announced today.

This is the second order awarded by this customer this year. An additional order, received from a NATO member European country, calls for the supply of C-MUSIC systems.

Both contracts will be performed during 2015 and are in amounts that are not material to Elbit Systems.

Elad Aharonson, General Manager of Elbit Systems ISTAR Division said, “While the Asian customer’s decision to acquire more DIRCM systems for its Blackhawk helicopters attests to the customer’s satisfaction with the previous order, the new contract with the European NATO member country extends the number of platforms that will be equipped with our systems.”
