HAIFA, Israel, Dec. 29 (UPI) -- The air force of an unidentified Asian country is receiving air combat maneuvering instrumentation systems from an Israeli company.
Elbit Systems, which has headquarters in Haifa, Israel, said the contract it received is valued at about $18 million.
Under the agreement, which is a follow-on order, Elbit Systems is supplying two additional complete systems -- static and mobile -- to be used for real-time, autonomous air-to-air and air-to-ground combat training and debriefing.
The new systems will feature interoperability with an existing Elbit Systems' training system that the customer is already operating.
The contract will be performed over the next two years, the company said.
"We are very proud to receive this follow-on order, which attests to the customer's satisfaction and solidifies the EHUD ACMI systems' position as a world leading air combat training system," said Yoram Shmuely, co-general manager of Elbit Systems' Aerospace Division. "This contract emphasizes once again the EHUD's overall outstanding reputation for enhancing the training and operational levels of air forces in Asia, NATO and around the world."
