Elbit Systems expands naval defence footprint

Elbit Systems has recently been awarded several contracts by international customers including NATO member countries, underscoring the company’s growing role in strengthening naval defence capabilities for customers around the world. These contracts, with an aggregate total value of approximately $330 million, cover a wide array of advanced naval technologies and platforms. The awarded programs include the delivery of advanced anti-submarine warfare (ASW) solutions, such as the TRAPS towed sonar system, along with combat management systems (CMS), electronic warfare, and electro-optic systems. They also cover modernisation and upgrade projects for naval platforms—including offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) and frigates—as well as ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) capabilities, the Seagull unmanned surface vessel (USV), and tailored ASW sonar solutions. These systems are designed to enhance situational awareness, survivability, and operational effectiveness in complex maritime environments. Elbit Systems’ naval portfolio continues to evolve in response to the high demand for multi-domain integration, real-time intelligence, and resilient defence capabilities. The company’s solutions are built on modular, open architecture designs, enabling seamless integration into existing naval platforms and allowing for flexible adaptation to evolving operational requirements. Elbit Systems’ technologies are already in operational use with numerous navies worldwide, supporting missions ranging from coastal surveillance and fleet protection to special operations and anti-submarine warfare. Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, President and CEO of Elbit Systems, said: “The maritime domain represents an important growth engine for Elbit Systems, combining our internally developed capabilities with the assets and expertise acquired through strategic acquisitions. These recent contract wins highlight the increasing recognition of our technological leadership and the strong confidence that leading naval forces place in our ability to deliver cutting-edge, mission-ready solutions that meet the demands of today’s evolving operational landscape.” For Editorial Inquiries Contact: Editor Kym Bergmann at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Group Sales Director Simon Hadfield at [email protected]
