Under the terms of the new order, Elbit Systems UK will be responsible for providing the British Army with the Morpheus battlefield management application (BMA), learned BulgarianMilitary.com.

With the signing of this $13 million initial contract, the U.K. armed forces will acquire an operationally proven battle management application (BMA) for headquarters as well as for tactical units, delivered by Elbit Systems UK within the period of three years. It is expected the maximum value of the deal to reach $51.96 million over the entire award period.
