Elbit Systems Ltd. announced a $275 million contract to supply an advanced airborne self‑protection electronic warfare suite, including its Mini‑MUSIC DIRCM system, to an unnamed country in the Asia‑Pacific region. The deal will be performed over a five‑year period and will give the helicopter platform state‑of‑the‑art missile‑threat detection, early warning and automated counter‑measure capabilities, enhancing aircraft survivability and mission effectiveness.
The contract’s five‑year performance schedule and the inclusion of Mini‑MUSIC DIRCM—a proven, combat‑tested system—underscore Elbit’s ability to deliver integrated self‑protection solutions that meet the rigorous demands of modern air forces. The suite’s ability to detect and neutralise a wide range of missile threats positions the customer’s rotary‑wing fleet to operate in increasingly contested environments.
Elbit’s CEO, Bezhalel Machlis, said the award reflects growing trust from Asia‑Pacific customers in the company’s advanced, combat‑proven solutions. The deal adds a substantial, multi‑year revenue stream to Elbit’s already robust backlog, which stood at $22.6 billion as of December 31 2024 and grew to $25.2 billion by September 30 2025. The $275 million contract represents a meaningful addition to the backlog, reinforcing the company’s momentum in the region.
The contract aligns with broader defense‑spending trends in the Asia‑Pacific, where militaries are modernising fleets and prioritising self‑protection technologies. It also strengthens Elbit’s competitive position against other electronic‑warfare providers, as the Mini‑MUSIC DIRCM system has a strong track record in NATO and European markets. The deal signals continued demand for advanced threat‑response solutions and positions Elbit to capture further opportunities in the region.
The announcement highlights Elbit’s strategic focus on high‑margin, high‑technology contracts that drive long‑term revenue growth and deepen customer relationships in key geographies. The company’s backlog growth and the addition of this contract suggest a solid execution pipeline and a resilient business model amid evolving security challenges.
