                     ELBIT SYSTEMS SELECTED TO SUPPLY 30 MM
                      UNMANNED TURRETS AND OPTO-ELECTRONIC
                    SYSTEMS FOR THE BELGIAN ARMORED INFANTRY
                                VEHICLE PROGRAM

Haifa,  Israel,  February 2, 2006 - Elbit  Systems Ltd.  (NASDAQ:ESLT)  reported
today that it was  selected to supply  various  systems for the Belgian  Armored
Infantry Vehicle Program.

The  anticipated  contract  value for Elbit  Systems'  portion of the Program is
expected to be in an amount  material to Elbit Systems,  with deliveries to take
place between 2007 - 2012.

This Program is related to a  co-operation  between  Elbit Systems and the Swiss
company  Mowag,  a part of the General  Dynamics  European  Land Combat  Systems
Group.  Mowag was selected by the Belgian  Government to be the prime contractor
for the  supply  of the  Piranha  III  vehicles  for the  Program.  The  Program
currently covers 138 vehicles out of a potential total of 242 vehicles.

Elbit  Systems'  portion of the Program  includes the delivery of 30 mm unmanned
turrets and various opto-electronic and electronic sub-systems.  Finalization of
the contract to Elbit Systems is expected within the coming weeks.

Joseph  Ackerman,  President and CEO of Elbit Systems said:  "We are proud to be
selected  to take part in this  important  project  for the  Belgian  Army.  The
co-operation  between Mowag and Elbit Systems  reflects the level of recognition
we have achieved with our customers,  end users and business partners worldwide.
The selection of our unmanned turrets  constitutes a breakthrough in an emerging
international market emanating from a shift in the modern battlefield.

<PAGE>

These systems implement the Elbit Systems Group's  integrative and comprehensive
abilities as well as our understanding of the modern combat arena."

Mr. Ackerman added, "We hope that Mowag's  selection of our solution for a major
NATO  member such as Belgium  will serve as a case in point for other  potential
customers in Europe and across the globe."
