Elbit Systems will supply the Israeli Ministry of Transportation with the C-MUSIC system (commercial multi-spectral infrared countermeasure) under a contract in the amount of approximately $76 million. The system, to be supplied  by Elbit Systems Electro-optics is to be installed aboard a variety of commercial aircraft owned by Israeli commercial airlines. C-MUSIC is based on the MUSIC system, a direct infra-red countermeasure technology for military aircraft and helicopters that disrupts missiles fired at aircraft and causes them to veer off course by transmitting a laser beam.
The systems' reliability, rapid-response and ability to deal with multiple threats is considered to be among the most advanced systems of its kind in the world today. Elbit Systems' MUSIC system completed a series of flight tests recently.
