Elbit Systems’ UK subsidiary was awarded an approximately $38 million contract from the UK Ministry of Defense to supply comprehensive Joint Fires Synthetic Training Systems (JFST) systems to the British Army. The JFST systems will be supplied over a period of two years following which Elbit Systems UK will provide an additional four years of maintenance, technical support, and on-site training.
