Elbit to Supply Asian Customer With Live Training System

Live Training System Allows the Trainee to Acquire Experience and Skills in Field Conditions While Saving Training Time and Ammunition Costs

(Haifa, Israel, December 1, 2008) -- Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: ESLT) announced that it was awarded a contract by an Asian country for the supply of a "Live Training System" valued at $10 million. The system will be delivered to the customer during 2010.

The new system is designated to train a brigade combat team including infantry forces, armored forces and support forces (artillery and air defense). Virtual elements are integrated into the live training for enriching the battlefield display, as well as video capabilities for improving control and debrief.

The live training system is mobile and can be rapidly deployed in various training areas with various sizes and features, and enables training in urban scenarios as well. The capability to execute a training activity in the area itself, while utilizing the operational weapons and platforms, without using live ammunition, allows the trainee to acquire experience and skills in field conditions while saving training time and ammunition costs.

Ran Hellerstein, Joint General Manager of Elbit Systems' Aerospace Division said: "Wining this project positions Elbit Systems as a leading supplier in the field of trainers and simulators. We anticipate growing interest among our global clients in acquiring similar systems."
