“We witness a growing recognition by Armed Forces of the essentiality of digitization and the capability to conduct interoperable multi-domain operations, especially in light of the lessons learned from recent conflicts," said President and CEO of Elbit Systems Bezhalel Machlis.
"This significant contract award to execute a military-wide networked warfare program further validates the leading position we hold in the growing areas of C4ISR and multi-domain networked warfare.” C4ISR stands for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance.
