Elbit Systems has secured contracts from an undisclosed customer in Europe to supply advanced thermal-imaging observation systems.

The $30m contracts follow the launch of the company's advanced electro-optic payload, Spectro XR, for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions.

Elbit will supply Long View CR (LVCR) observation systems, fixed installation long-range observation systems (LOROSS), and XACT observation systems for dismounted soldier applications.

The LVCR observation systems are suitable for target acquisition during day and night operations.

Elbit Systems ISTAR division general manager Elad Aharonson said: “Observation systems are a vital component of the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) field. They enable day and night operations under all weather conditions.
