Elbit Systems’ US Arm Wins $472M Air Force F-16 Missile Warning Tech Contract – GovCon Wire:

Elbit Systems' U.S. subsidiary has won a potential 10-year, $471.6M contract from the U.S. Air Force to provide an aircraft technology designed to increase fighter pilots' awareness of missile threats.

The service branch is procuring pylon-based infrared missile warning systems from the company as part of F-16 sustainment efforts, the Department of Defense said Thursday.

The AF Life Cycle Management Center received one offer for the firm-fixed-price contract via a competitive acquisition process and the service branch obligated $17.1M in National Guard and Reserve Equipment Account funds at the time of award.

DoD expects Elbit Systems of America to complete work in February 2030.
