spectro-from-insideIsraeli Elbit Systems was awarded a new contract to supply its dvanced SPECTRO XR systmens for more than $90 million. The new systems will be delivered to the unnamed Asian-Pacific state over the next four years.

SPECTRO XR is an ultra-long-range, day/night, multi-spectral electro-optical ISTAR system. At its heart is a large multi-spectral imaging system combining multiple cameras into one, allowing SPECTRO XR to significantly improve performance without increasing size and weight. The implementation of fully digital sensors and lasers, with a very high level of stabilization, provides users with high performance in adverse weather conditions. The modular design enables users to select the configuration best suited to their needs, both in terms of performance and cost. The system can be installed on a variety of platforms including rotary and fixed-wing airborne platforms, aerostats, naval vessels and land applications. A wide variety of command and control interfaces enables simple integration of the SPECTRO XR with various other systems onboard, such as mission computers, radar, data-links and helmet-mounted tracking systems.

SPECTRO XR was designed based on Elbit Systems’ 20 year legacy in developing EO payloads such as the AMPS strategic payload and the CoMPASS™ family, with more than 1,000 systems in operational use around the world today.

Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, President and CEO of Elbit Systems, commented: “We are very pleased with this contract, demonstrating Elbit Systems’ ability to foresee the market’s requirements and to develop the most cutting-edge systems suitable for our customers’ demanding needs. The variety of systems and solutions we have recently launched, represent a range of different fields of activities within Elbit Systemsfor which our customers worldwide have expressed interest, and we hope other customers will follow.”
