Elbit Systems' (ESLT) Cyclone unit has signed a contract valued at over $34 million with Israel's Ministry of Defense for the development of an extended-range capability for Lockheed Martin's (LMT) F-35 "Adir" fighter jet, the agency said Thursday.

The project will cover the development and integration of external fuel tanks based on a Cyclone design that was developed for the F-16 jet, the agency said.

The upgrade will extend the aircraft's operational range, reduce reliance on aerial refueling, and enhance operational flexibility across long-range missions, according to a statement.
