Elbit Systems has secured contracts worth approximately $100 million to set up a Joint National Digital Fires Command Center for an unnamed European customer. Under this deal, the Israeli manufacturer will integrate the country’s strategic and tactical firing platforms into a centralized command system.
According to Elbit, JNDFC is designed to enhance real-time command capabilities for artillery platforms such as howitzers, rockets, mortars, precision munitions, drones and various sensors. By digitizing fire processes and integrating real-time intelligence, the system aims to improve operational efficiency and optimize the attack cycle.
The Haifa-based firm will also deploy its multidomain digital fires warfare technology, incorporating its Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Digital Fires Suite, which includes the Torch-X Fires system, E-LynX software defined radio and GRX-8000 high-capacity line-of-sight microwave communication system.
Haim Delmar, general manager of Elbit Systems’ C4I and cyber unit, highlighted the increasing demand for multi-domain digital warfare solutions. “These solutions provide unparalleled effectiveness, enhanced operational efficiency and maximized performance of fire platforms through a fully digitized process,” he said. “The customer’s decision to once again select Elbit Systems validates the technological and operational advantages offered by our solutions.”
This latest contract award follows a recent $68 million deal with Germany for the acquisition of five Precise and Universal Launching System, or PULS, rocket artillery launchers. Last month, Elbit Systems also secured a $60 million contract for its ReDrone modular counter-unmanned aerial system, a three-year agreement that includes advanced technologies such as the DAiR radar, signal intelligence sensors, electronic warfare countermeasures and an electro-optical day/night payload.
