Elbit Systems of America president and CEO Raanan Horowitz said: “The Two Color Laser System provides increased targeting accuracy and flexibility, minimising the potential for collateral damage. These attributes are key to US warfighters who depend on these systems for a successful mission.”

Financial details of the contract were not disclosed by Elbit Systems, which noted ‘the initial contract is in an amount not material to’ it.

However, the company said that work under the contract will be carried out during this year.
