IAI's ELM-20600 Radar Targeting Pod


Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) announced today that it had signed a $200 million contract with a customer in Asia. Under the new contract, IAI would provide targeting and surveillance pods to the local air force. The contract will be carried out by IAI's subsidiary, ELTA Systems.

The contract signed yesterday is a follow-up order for the new generation of targeting and surveillance pods already used extensively and successfully by the country's air force. The IAI/ELTA pods are considered as the global leaders in their category. Elop has participated in the development of the pods as a subcontractor.

"The new order serves as yet another evidence of the satisfaction and trust our clients place in the IAI's systems and technological capabilities," said Joseph Weiss, IAI's president and CEO. "IAI has many-year experience in designing and manufacturing airborne warfare systems, which play a central role in the operations of several air forces around the globe. Being able to provide airborne tactical and strategic intelligence in real time allows our clients to deal with current and future operational challenges in the best way possible."
