Haifa, Israel, February 4, 2004 - Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ:ESLT) today announced that it has been selected by the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD) to supply "Skylark" mini-UAV systems for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), ground forces. The initial order is expected in the near future.

The system is equipped with an exceptionally quiet electric motor, totally autonomous flight and outstanding observation capabilities. A single field soldier can launch the UAV after a brief training.
Elbit Systems' "Skylark" was the only mini-UAV system, among the participants in the fly-off program, to successfully pass a series of stringent tests which demonstrated its technical and operational capabilities, meeting the demands set by IMOD.
Elbit Systems, a world leader in UAVs, has equipped "Skylark" with unique operational features designed to meet the battlefield challenges of today and tomorrow.
