Here are the latest widely reported developments on Elbit Systems (ESLT) up to mid-2026:
U.S. defense contract for Iron Fist APS: In January 2026, Elbit Systems announced a substantial U.S. contract worth about $228 million to supply its Iron Fist Active Protection System for the Army’s Bradley Fighting Vehicles, with work over the next three years. This marks another major U.S. win for Elbit’s ground-vehicle protection systems [news coverage from Jan 2026; sources include industry press aggregators]. This followed earlier U.S. Army selections of Iron Fist and suggests continued momentum in the U.S. market [news coverage references].
Israel airborne munitions awards: In April 2026, Elbit reported several contracts totaling roughly $200 million for advanced airborne munitions to the Israel Ministry of Defense during Operation "Roaring Lion." The awards underscore Elbit’s leadership in air-launched weapon systems and reinforce its long-standing partnership with the Israeli MoD [PRNewswire distribution, April 2026; Markets data coverage].
Backlog and international exposure: Reports through 2025 indicate a high and growing backlog with substantial international involvement. One source noted a record backlog around $23.8 billion in late 2025, with about two-thirds from international customers and the remainder from the Israeli Defense Forces, signaling durable demand beyond domestic programs [Ynet News coverage, November 2025; related industry summaries].
Broader international momentum: Beyond ground and air defense, Elbit has pursued expansion in helicopter platforms and other airborne systems in the Asia-Pacific region and Europe, pointing to a diversified export footprint and ongoing collaboration with multiple defense ministries and contractors [industry briefings and press coverage in 2025–2026].
