Elbit Wins USD260M German Contract
Elbit Systems, a leading Israeli defense technology company, has secured a USD 260 million contract to provide its TMJ-MUSIC Directed Infrared Countermeasure (DIRCM) systems to the German Air Force.
Over six years, the systems will be integrated into Germany’s Airbus A400M military transport aircraft, enhancing protection against missile threats using laser and infrared tracking capabilities.
Awarded by Germany’s Federal Office for Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support, the deal follows Airbus selecting Elbit as its preferred supplier.
The fully autonomous DIRCM system detects, tracks, and neutralizes incoming threats without affecting aircraft performance or cargo capacity. Elbit already deploys the technology across multiple countries, including Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, and Brazil, and across platforms such as the Airbus A330.
