Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems announced in a press release Sunday that the Israel Ministry of Defense has awarded the company a $35 million contract to develop Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) features. Elbit will deliver its systems within three years.
The new deal will add to Elbit's existing $90 million contract to provide Hermes 900 unmanned aircraft, as well as maintenance services, that the Ministry of Defense awarded the company last year.
