Elbit Systems Awarded Approximately $100 Million Contract for UT30 MK2 by GDELS to Equip a NATO European Country
April 9, 2025 - The UT30 MK2 is a configurable manned and unmanned turret that enhances the firepower of armored personnel carriers (APCs) without compromising troop safety. Its modular design and open architecture allow for both unmanned and manned turret configurations, with easy conversion between the two and integration of various missiles and sights. Featuring a very low profile, the UT30MK2 integrates a wide array of weapon systems, including a 30mm main gun, a coaxial 7.62mm, and ATGMs. It also includes a protection suite with various levels of protection, the Iron Fist Active Protection System, and other countermeasures. These are integrated with advanced electro-optic systems—all developed in-house—to provide reliable, high-performance firepower on the battlefield.
Yehuda (Udi) Vered, General Manager Elbit Systems Land: "We are very proud to have been selected by an additional NATO European user following the very successful firing tests evaluation on the ASCOD platform". He added, “We value our collaboration with GDELS and are honored to collaborate in this project with our advanced turret solutions, which enhance firepower, protection, and operational effectiveness. This contract reflects the trust placed in our capabilities and our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern land forces.”
