Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) presentó el radar ELM-2138M (AD) en la exposición de Eurosatory. Con cuatro paneles completos AESA para una cobertura en los 360 grados y capacidades de vigilancia en movimiento. Cubre una amplia gama de objetivos aéreos como también puede proporcionar detección de cohetes, artillería y mortero (RAM), proporcionando un punto preciso de lanzamiento e impacto en tiempo real del fuego enemigo.
First contract of 5 ELM-2138M AD radars was recently signed with a European customer. The radars will be integrated into the joint airspace surveillance system by the end of 2019.
The The ELM-2138M AD can be used as mobile force protection radar as well as gap filler to complement the local or national Air Situation Picture/Recognized Air Picture (ASP/RAP), encompassing a broad range of airborne targets – such as transport aircrafts, high-speed fighters, helicopters, glide bombs or drones. The radar can also provide Rocket, Artillery and Mortar (RAM) detection, providing real time accurate launch and impact point information of incoming hostile fire.
As static radar with no moving parts, the ELM-2138M AD provides a significant advantage both in the operational aspect for on-the-move defense, while reducing long term maintenance and significantly increasing operational availability.
Nissim Hadas, IAI EVP and president of ELTA Systems Ltd. said, “The ELM-2138M AD provides new surveillance capabilities and improved RAM detection performance, thus enhancing force protection against a wide range of threats. We are proud of this new system joining our family of air defense radars used for frontline operational defense and force protection.”
