By GlobalData“Elevated geopolitical tensions and growing defence budgets have created multiple opportunities and we are increasing investment in business development to realise the potential from these trends.”
The company said its backlog of orders reached $14.7bn at the end of September. Nearly 75% of that has been attributed to orders from outside Israel.
Machlis added: “Our working assumption is that supply chain and labour inflation pressures will gradually subside from the second half of 2023.
“We continue to invest in Elbit Systems’ portfolio of advanced technological capabilities including unmanned systems, C4I, EW, maritime solutions, and precision munitions.
“The significant orders received in 2022 have highlighted the relevance of our portfolio to our customers and support future growth prospects.”
Earlier this month, the company’s UK subsidiary reached a partnership with Draken Europe in the area of uncrewed aerial systems.
