Elbit will supply the medium-range variant of its EXTRA supersonic rocket system, along with PULS launchers, additional rocket-artillery-related platforms and integrated logistics support.

Elbit Expands Its European Industrial Presence

On October 14, Elbit Systems Sweden announced plans to establish the company's first European production and maintenance center for Laser Warning Systems, with operations expected to begin in 2027.

The facility will support local integration, assembly, maintenance, and lifecycle support for the systems in Europe. The company expects the center to improve system availability, shorten delivery timelines and strengthen support for European customers.

“This initiative represents an important step for us and reflects our commitment to strengthening our capabilities to develop, deliver and produce locally,” Tobias Wennberg, CEO of Elbit Systems Sweden, said.

The next-generation passive Laser Warning Systems are designed to detect and localize laser threats and integrate with existing command-and-control systems. According to Elbit, their decentralized architecture reduces the number of components, minimizes platform modifications, and delivers a more robust solution.

Established in 2020, Elbit Systems Sweden employs more than 100 people across the country and serves as a regional hub for the company's Northern European operations.
