IAI delivers 3D radar system to European customer
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has delivered advanced 3D Air Defense Radar systems to an undisclosed European NATO member country, the company announced on 24 October.
The contract covers a number of mobile 3D surveillance and defence radars for integration with the customer's national and NATO air and missile defence system.
Manufactured by Elta Systems, the mobile and manoeuvrable 3D radar provides air defence support while detecting a wide variety of airborne platforms, including low altitude high-speed fighter aircraft, hovering helicopters, UAS and low speed ultra-light aircraft.
The radar provides accurate range, azimuth and elevation angle measurements for each target, and can differentiate between fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.
