Elbit Systems engaged in duo of unnamed artillery contracts

The ATMOS modular artillery system is capable of firing all NATO-certified 155mm projectiles to a range of 40 kilometres or extended ranges with rocket-assisted rounds.

It’s designed for rapid deployment and the ATMOS towed version is capable of a 30-second, three-round burst.

The contract will be performed over the next eight years, according to Elbit Systems land general manager Yehuda Vered.

“Elbit Systems’ comprehensive integrated artillery solutions provide a valuable competitive edge to the ground forces of our customers around the world,” he said.

“This contract is a vote of confidence in the advanced indirect fire solutions we provide.”

Earlier this month, the company also accepted a contract to supply precision munitions, radio and defense electronics systems, as well as maintenance services to an unnamed European country in a contract worth approximately $280 million.

“These contract extensions demonstrate our customers’ continued trust in our customised products and services, as well as the sustained demand for our market-leading solutions from customers across Europe,” said Elbit Systems president and chief executive officer Bezhalel Machlis.
