IAI unveils Terra radar
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has introduced a new dual-band radar system for the early-warning, detection and accurate tracking of very long range targets, the company announced on 8 November.
Named Terra, the system is designed to track targets such as ballistic missiles, satellites and air-breathing targets.
Terra is comprised of an Ultra UHF band radar (ELM-2090U) and the new ELM-2090S Spectra S-band very-long-range search and track radar, with automatic handover and redundancy between the two. It features target load sharing, Electronic Counter-Counter Measures (ECCM) and severe-weather resilience.
The SPECTRA Active Electronic Scanned Array (AESA) radar can be used as a standalone system, or as a transportable ground-based or shipborne radar system designed to autonomously detect and simultaneously track multiple tactical ballistic missiles. SPECTRA provides target tracking and real-time launch point and impact point estimations. The high-power GaN AESA technology implemented in the radar includes thousands of transmit/receive modules that provide high efficiency, reliability and graceful degradation.
Nissim Hadas, executive VP and ELTA president, IAI, said: ‘Ballistic and cruise missiles present a significant global threat to nations worldwide. The Terra system provides outstanding performance for its users for very long range early warning, detection and highly accurate tracking. It is designed to confront the full range of modern threats, as the new Spectra radar is based on the most advanced modern technology, and provides unique capabilities and excellent operational results, placing it among the best radars worldwide.’
