Elbit Systems Ltd. announced today that it has been awarded contracts in an aggregate value of approximately $277 million by an international customer for supply of 30 mm turrets and munitions. The contracts will be performed over a period of three years.
The UT30 MK2 is a configurable manned and unmanned turret that enhances the firepower of armored personnel carriers (APCs) without compromising troop safety. Its modular design and open architecture allow for both unmanned and manned turret configurations, with easy conversion between the two and integration of various missiles and sights. Featuring a very low profile, the UT30MK2 integrates a wide array of weapon systems, including a 30mm main gun, a coaxial 7.62mm, and ATGMs.
Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, President and CEO of Elbit Systems: “We are proud to be selected once again by a valued international customer. These contracts reflect the customer’s confidence in our advanced land systems and munitions technologies and further demonstrate our ability to deliver high performance, operational solutions to armed forces worldwide.”
