The contracts are for supplying radar and satellite communication systems to several foreign clients
Elta Systems, a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), recently signed a series of new contracts worth $106 million. The orders include supplying fire-control radar systems, satellite communication systems, the AD-STAR radar system, as well as radar systems for protecting ground forces from air strikes.
In a contract valued at $39 million, Elta will supply an unnamed foreign client with three-dimensional fire-control radar systems for surface-to-air weapon systems such as cannons and missiles. The fire-control radar system seeks and follows targets with high maneuverability that includes fighter aircraft and missiles.
After identifying and marking the target, the radar conveys the essential target data to a weapons system, which then locks onto the target and initiates the interception process.
The radars advanced Active Electronically Steered Array (AESA) technology supports a number of high-level capabilities.
To fulfill the compatibility demands of the weapons system, Elta will provide the foreign client with a satellite communications (SATCOM) system in a separate contract that is worth $30 million. This part of the deal includes the ELK-1891 system a networked system intended for tactical reports, and the broadband ELK-1894 system that is used to transfer information via communication between two users.
Eltas ELK-1891 satellite communication system operates on microwave frequencies and can connect up to 128 portable or stationary users in various positions within the coverage area of the satellite. The communication range can reach as far as thousands of kilometers. The technology applied in the system allows for the transfer of transmissions, data, and tactical reports, while maintaining the required information security limitations.
The ELK-1984 system provides broadband communication between two users in tasks that require the transfer of large quantities of information. The system is primarily used for assignment aircraft, early-warning aircraft, naval reconnaissance aircraft, and various UAVs and airborne platforms for observation and collecting intelligence information.
Another contract won by Elta at a scope of $33 million is for supplying advanced radar systems for air defense missions, early-warning systems, and air control systems to a foreign client. The ELM-2288 radar system, also known as AD-STAR (Air Defense Surveillance, Threat Alert and Air Traffic Control Radar), belongs to a family of multi-assignment air defense radar systems produced by Elta. This radar system family is characterized by high levels of repeatability, reliability, and a long shelf life.
AD-STAR is a digital radar that combines advanced technology for a large number of beams that simultaneously scan selected areas. As a result, the radar provides precise three-dimensional data about the located targets, while simultaneously carrying out several other tasks, such as classifying and following a large number of targets, guiding weapons for defense and assault, air control, and more. The radar can be transported via air, sea, or land, and can be quickly deployed in the field.
Another $4 million contract was also signed between Elta and a foreign client for supplying air defense radar systems. The ELM-2106NG three-dimensional radar is used for tactical defense and is intended for supporting ground forces. The radar increases the survivability of the forces against air attacks of helicopters, low-altitude fighters, and airborne weapon systems. The radar system identifies a wide range of air platforms, and provides precise information about them such as the range, azimuth, and height of each target. The radar systems thus allow for utilizing effective protective measures against the threats that endanger tactical ground forces.
Nissim Hadas, CEO of Elta, said, The impressive collection of contracts points once more to the trust that Eltas clients have in its ability to provide advanced and comprehensive solutions. These cover a broad range of operational needs of air, navy, and ground forces, and for homeland security."
