Haifa-base Elbit Systems announced on Tuesday that it was awarded a follow-on $46 million contract to supply additional J-Music™ Direct Infrared Countermeasures self-protection systems to NATO for its Airbus A330 Multinational Multi-Role Tanker Transport Fleet program over a four-year period.
Similar to several previous awards from global air forces and other customers, Elbit Systems will equip the NATO tankers with said systems along with the company’s infra-red-based Passive Airborne Warning Systems.
