All Elite prizes received from Shadow Ops or Weekend Specials do not require the Non-Elite versions first to be unlocked. ( in a sense they are giving you both at the same time, they give the the non-elite then immediately replace it with the Elite )

However, you will need to meet the other requirements to Build & Upgrade it such as the Lv 10 Tech center.

If you don't yet meet these requirement it ok because you will still have it unlocked for when you eventually do meet them down the line.
