The potential contract value under the OTA contract could reach a maximum of approximately $442 million. The U.S. Army did not define an overall time-frame for performance of the OTA contract. An initial order in the amount of approximately $22.5 million for low-rate initial production (LRIP) of systems has been placed under the OTA contract, with a period of performance through December 2021, to be executed in Roanoke, Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ENVG-B systems provide U.S. warfighters with unprecedented situational awareness during limited visibility conditions and increased lethality through faster target acquisition. The ENVG-B systems will undergo various qualification phases, including field trials and system testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, Elbit Systems President &amp; CEO, commented: \u201cThe selection of the ENVG-B systems by the U.S Army is a testament to the quality of Elbit Systems of America\u2019s technologies and their unique operational contribution.
