Elbit Systems signs $82 million contract to supply Condor2 system

HAIFA, Israel. Elbit Systems has received a contract worth approximately $82 million to provide an Asia-Pacific country with its Condor 2 electro-optic/infrared (EO/IR) airborne solution, for use in intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions. The contract, a follow-on order from a current user, will be satisfied over a four-year period by Elbit Systems' ISTAR Division.

Condor2 is a long-range oblique photography (LOROP) system that allows simultaneous high-resolution visible and IR reconnaissance images at very long standoff distances. The system consists of the pod itself, a wideband data link, fixed and transportable image exploitation stations, and support equipment. The Condor2 can operate from a variety of platforms, including supersonic fighter jets and maritime patrol aircraft, at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet.

Under the terms of the contract, defense contractor ELTA Systems (Ashdod, Israel) will also supply additional content to the customer.
