Representatives from NATO militaries and European defense firms recently attended field demonstrations of Elbit Systems' Digital Ground Army system in Sweden, despite rising hostility towards Israel in Europe. This system, utilized by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for two decades, connects command and control centers with soldiers and vehicles, enhancing operational capabilities. Many NATO forces have fallen behind in technological advancements due to a lack of investment since the Cold War, a gap that has become critical amid fears of potential conflict with Russia. The system has already garnered over $1 billion in sales to various militaries, including Australia and the Netherlands. The two-week event showcased the system's ability to facilitate real-time data sharing and connectivity across all military levels, demonstrating NATO interoperability and integration. Elbit's CEO emphasized the importance of these demonstrations as a significant milestone in the ongoing digitization of Europe's military forces, positioning Elbit to support NATO's modernization efforts effectively.
