The ELM-2138M Air Defense (AD) radar, revealed at Eurosatory 2018, features four full AESA staring panels for 360 degrees azimuth coverage and on-the-move surveillance capabilities.
The first contract of five 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 ELM-2138M AD can be used as a mobile force protection radar as well as a 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 aircraft, 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.
“The ELM-2138M AD provides new surveillance capabilities and improved RAM detection performance, thus enhancing force protection against a wide range of threats,” said Nissim Hadas, IAI’s EVP and president of ELTA Systems. “We are proud of this new system joining our family of air defense radars used for frontline operational defense and force protection.”
