This order is part of an other transaction authority (OTA) contract, which the company announced in October last year. The OTA could reach a maximum value of some $442m.
Overall time frame for a performance of the OTA contract was not disclosed by the US Army.
Elbit Systems of America president and CEO Raanan Horowitz said: “Elbit Systems of America’s ENVG-Bs provides warfighters with unprecedented situational awareness during limited visibility conditions, increased lethality through faster target acquisition and other game-changing advantages on the battlefield.
“We are eager to support the US Army’s transition to higher ENVG-B production rates, which will create additional jobs at our Roanoke facility, and throughout our extended US-based supply chain, generating a positive economic impact in the communities they reside.”
