The project will be performed over a one-year period. To date, Elbit Systems of America has been awarded a number of contracts from CBP to install IFT systems in numerous AoR&#8217;s covering a total of approximately 200 miles of the Arizona\u2013Mexico border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IFT system comprises a command and control center and a networked multi-tower, multi-sensor system that continuously monitors portions of the U.S. southern border. Information from the towers is sent to the command and control center at a Border Patrol Station providing agents with long-range, persistent surveillance and situational awareness that allows them to dispatch an appropriate response. This capability provides greater safety for the agents patrolling the border in the Casa Grande AoR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ranaan Horowitz, Elbit Systems of America President and Chief Executive Officer, said: &#8220;Elbit Systems of America is honored to have been selected by the CBP and the Tohono O&#8217;odham Nation to provide a solution to suit the needs of those living and working along the border in the Casa Grande AoR. This project clearly demonstrates our company&#8217;s mission to provide innovative solutions that protect and save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elbit Systems Ltd. announced today that its US subsidiary, Elbit Systems of America, LLC, was awarded an approximately $26 million contract from the United States Customs and Border Protection (&#8220;CBP&#8221;) to install an Integrated Fixed Towers (&#8220;IFT&#8221;) system in the U.S. Border Patrol Casa Grande Area of Responsibility (&#8220;AoR&#8221;) in Arizona.
