The agreement will cater for the construction and upkeep of the Hermes system, and will be undertaken over the course of five years.

Our operational portfolio of autonomous capabilities, in all domains of operation, positions us competitively to address these needs,” Elbit Systems president and CEO Bezhalel Machlis said.
