Elbit Systems announced (ESLT ) on November 2, 2026 that it was awarded a contract valued at approximately $170 million by the Israel Ministry of Defense to establish and operate an advanced training and simulation center for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Artillery Corps. The contract will be performed over a period of 15 years.

The new center is intended to support the operational integration of the ROEM self-propelled artillery system and the LAHAV precision rocket launcher system into the IDF Artillery Corps.

Under the contract, Elbit Systems will develop and deliver an advanced training infrastructure for the center, including mission and driving simulators, training classrooms and dedicated facilities. The solution will feature simulation technologies, automation capabilities, AI-based functionalities and driver training solutions. Elbit Systems will also provide training, maintenance and support services throughout the contract period.

The company said the project is intended to enhance the operational readiness and proficiency of IDF artillery personnel, shorten qualification and training timelines, and improve training efficiency while reducing resource consumption and wear on operational platforms.

Commenting on the award, Boaz Cohen, General Manager of Elbit Systems Land & Armaments, said: “We are proud to support the IDF Artillery Corps with advanced training and simulation solutions for the ROEM and LAHAV systems, key components of the IDF’s next-generation land firepower array. This project further demonstrates Elbit Systems’ ability to deliver integrated and networked training solutions that combine advanced infrastructure, immersive simulation technologies and long-term partnership, enabling forces to maximize the operational potential of these advanced platforms.”

Elbit Systems develops, manufactures, integrates and sustains a range of next-generation solutions across multiple domains, and its shares trade on the Nasdaq and Tel Aviv stock exchanges. It employs over 21,000 people in dozens of countries across five continents, and reported approximately $2.29 billion in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026, with an order backlog of $32.0 billion as of that date.

On October 19, 2026, Elbit Systems announced a $235 million contract to supply EXTRA-MR rockets and PULS launchers to a European country, and on October 26, 2026, it announced approximately $200 million in contracts for airborne ISTAR and training solutions in Asia-Pacific, according to the company’s news page.
