HAIFA, Israel, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Elbit Systems Ltd. announced that Tadiran Spectralink Ltd. (Spectralink), a member of the Elisra Group, won a contract for the supply of the advanced PCR-434G/SV Personal Survival Radio (PSR) to the German Air Force. The current order, for approximately US$8 million, is anticipated to result in follow-on orders for additional quantities of the PSR, intended for other branches of the German military, plus a comprehensive Integrated Logistics Support package.
