Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Establishing deep local subsidiaries (such as Elbit Systems of America, Elbit Systems Deutschland, and Elbit Systems UK) to comply with local content and offset rules, thereby securing long-term procurement pipelines across NATO and allied nations.
Expected impact: Deriving over 80% of revenue from international markets, reducing domestic concentration risk, and bypassing geopolitical barriers to access national procurement budgets.
Scaling artificial intelligence capabilities across all product lines to improve autonomy, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and command-and-control (C2) capabilities, including the deployment of Legion-X autonomous swarms.
Expected impact: Maintaining technological leadership in unmanned systems and capturing rising budget allocations for autonomous warfare from NATO and allied forces.
Advancing and scaling manufacturing capacity for next-generation directed energy weapons, specifically the Airborne High-Power Laser (HPL) combat jet fighter Pod and helicopter-based HPL systems for the Israel Ministry of Defense.
Expected impact: Establishing Elbit as the premier global supplier of low-cost, high-precision aerial threat interception systems.
