Elbit Systems Ltd. announced on July 28, 2025, that it was awarded a contract worth approximately $260 million by Airbus Defence and Space. The contract is for the supply of its J-MUSIC™ Directed Infrared Counter Measures (DIRCM) self-protection systems.
These systems are intended for installation on the German Air Force A400M transport aircraft. The contract is scheduled to be executed over a 6-year period, following a procurement decision by the Federal Office for Equipment, Information Technology and Operations of the Bundeswehr.
The J-MUSIC™ DIRCM system is designed to defend aircraft against infrared-guided missile threats, including those launched from man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS). This award further strengthens Elbit Systems' position as a global provider of DIRCM solutions and its collaboration with Airbus DS.
