(NASDAQ: ESLT) is an Israeli defense and homeland security company that develops and supplies products and services across five segments: Aerospace; C4I and Cyber; ISTAR and Electronic Warfare; Land; and Elbit Systems of America. Its offerings span airborne platforms, unmanned aerial systems, precision-guided munition sensors, command and control systems, electro-optic and laser solutions, naval combat management, electronic warfare and radar systems, and land weapons including turrets and active protection systems.
The company sells to governments and commercial customers worldwide, with a notable presence in Israel, North America, and Europe. It was incorporated in 1966 and is headquartered in Haifa, Israel, and has been listed on NASDAQ since its 1996 IPO.

As an Israeli prime contractor, it exports a significant share of its output, making it one of the larger publicly traded defense electronics firms outside the United States.
