MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default"

Haifa, Israel, September 10 , 2006 – Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ Global Select Market: ESLT) announced that Tadiran Spectralink Ltd. (Spectralink), a member of the Elisra Group, won a contract for supply of the advanced PRS-434G/SV Personal Survival Radio (PSR) to the German Air Force. The current order, for approximately US$8 million, is anticipated to result in follow-on orders for additional quantities of the PSR, intended for other branches of the German military, plus a comprehensive Integrated Logistics Support package. Other European countries expected to follow suit.

The PRC-434G/SV was developed by Spectralink to meet the needs and requirements of the German Armed Forces and according to specifications established by the German Air Force. With its exclusive features, plus reduced weight and volume, this is the smartest and smallest PSR currently available in its class.
