Press release date: September 21, 2011
HAIFA, Israel, September 21, 2011 -- Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: ESLT) ("ESLT") announced today that its subsidiary Elbit Security Systems Ltd. (ELSEC) was awarded an Israel Ports Development & Assets Company Ltd. (IPC) contract, for the supply and installation of a perimeter security system. The system is for the protection of the Haifa port, including the chemicals terminal, as well as the Kishon port and the "Shavit" fishermen dock. The contract, which includes various security systems, is in an amount that is not material to Elbit Systems.
The perimeter security project will include an advanced command and control system which will enable the interoperability of various security systems, such as surveillance, closed-circuit TV (CCTV) with advanced image processing capabilities as well as electronic fences. The existing security systems currently protecting the Haifa ports will be connected to the new systems to be supplied, all of which will be interconnected to the Haifa Port Security Centre.
Adi Dar, Chairman of ELSEC said: "We are proud that the IPC and Haifa Ports Ltd. selected ELSEC to provide the security solutions for the Haifa ports. Our turn-key security solutions build on our extensive experience and understanding of the customers' needs. This new contract for the protection of the central and vital Haifa port, further strengthens Elbit Systems' leading position in offering tailored solutions for transportation and critical infrastructure security and I trust that this contract will lead to additional contracts, in Israel and abroad."
