Company Name: Elbit Systems Ltd

Company Type: Global Defense Electronic Company

Company Profile

Elbit Systems develops, manufactures and integrates advanced, high-performance defense electronic and electro-optic systems for customers throughout the world. Our major activities include command, control, communication, computer and intelligence (C⁴I) systems and intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems for defense and homeland security applications. We also perform upgrade programs for airborne, ground and naval defense platforms, often as a prime contractor, and supply advanced turnkey Unmanned Airborne Vehicle (UAV) systems.

Elbit Systems is one of the few companies upgrading both Western and former Eastern bloc defense platforms. In addition, we are one of only a few upgrade contractors in the world who also integrate, develop and manufacture electronic and electro-optic systems and products.

In 2000, Elbit Systems merged with Elop Electro-Optics Industries Ltd. (El-Op). Following the merger, El-Op became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems. The merger enhanced Elbit Systems' position as the largest non-government owned defense company in Israel.

Since its establishment as Elbit Computers Ltd. in 1966, Elbit Systems has been involved in a wide range of defense-related airborne, ground, naval and C⁴I programs throughout the world. Additionally, El-Op has more than 60 years of experience in the electro-optics area. 

Our major business activities include:

• Fixed and rotary wing platform systems and upgrades
• Helmet mounted systems
• Unmanned airborne vehicles - UAVs
• Tactical and security systems
• Ground C⁴I and battlefield systems
• Combat vehicle systems and upgrades
• Electro-optic systems
• Technology spin-offs for commercial applications

Elbit Systems tailors and adapts its technologies, integration skills, market knowledge and battle-proven systems to each customer's individual requirements in both existing and new platforms. By upgrading existing platforms with advanced electronic and electro-optic technologies, Elbit Systems provides customers with cost-effective solutions, and our customers are able to improve their technological and operational capabilities within limited defense budgets.

The recent military operations around the world and ongoing terrorist threats have caused a shift in the defense priorities for many of Elbit Systems' major customers. While Elbit Systems continues to perform platform upgrades, more emphasis is being placed on ISR, including information systems, intelligence gathering, border and perimeter security, UAVs, space and satellite-based defense capabilities and homeland security issues. Elbit Systems believes that its existing systems, products and capabilities position us to meet emerging customer requirements in many of these areas.

Elbit Systems' shares are traded on the Nasdaq National Market (NASDAQ) under the symbol “ESLT” and on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE).
