The integration of Elbit's C4I solution is expected to enhance operational efficiency and maximize the performance of artillery platforms through a fully digitized process.

Furthermore, the agreement facilitates the integration of the customer's artillery forces with Elbit Systems' Networked Warfare Systems, ensuring seamless interoperability with other assets within the nation's army.

This contract marks the second order for Elbit's C4I suite from a European country within a year, underscoring the company's expertise and the value of its solutions in modernizing military capabilities.
