Elbit has been selected as preferred tenderer for the Land 200 Battle Group and Below, Command Control and Communications (BGC3).

Elbit had teamed up with Boeing in offering their battle management system, which is in service with the Israeli Defence Force (IDF).

The integrated system comprises command and control software, advanced electro-optical sensors, multi-functional
displays, information and communications systems, and advanced mission systems.

Elbit says that its BMS supports every requirement of battalion-and-below tactical units, meeting all their operational needs, including direct fire engagement and manoeuvre, indirect fire support, intelligence and logistics.

However Elbit was told last week by Electronic Systems Division that while Defence preferred Elbit’s kit over that offered by Saab Systems and Raytheon Australia, they did not want Boeing in that particular picture.

Elbit will now be supplying their battle management systems from Israel and the DMO will be handling the integration (or so we hear).

As to the Combat Net Radio systems sought under L200 we believe these are being evaluated under JP2092 which will fund their purchase through Land 200.

And what are we likely to see?

A mix of Harris, or Thales JTRS compliant mounted and dismounted radios plus Raytheon’s EPLRS.

General Dynamics was an original contender for Land 200 but pulled out when it was sacked from JP2072 leaving Harris without a sponsor.
