Elbit Systems announced on Tuesday that it was awarded an approximately $300 million contract by a country in Asia to provide Hermes 900 Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
A company statement said that the contract will be performed over a period of five years.
The company said that under the contract, it will provide its Hermes 900 UAS and associated subsystems, as well as maintenance and support services.

Our operational portfolio of autonomous capabilities, in all domains of operation, positions us competitively to address these needs.”
