ELTA Systems, a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries, unveiled Tuesday its new Passive Coherent Location (PCL) system that it said tracks non-emitting aerial targets using non-cooperative transmitters, providing an accurate picture of the situation.
The PCL system detects and tracks aerial threats using non-cooperative transmissions from FM or Digital Audio Broadcasting towers. The reflections are received by a single antenna or a network of them, providing real-time omnidirectional coverage for tracking of multiple targets in congested airspace, ELTA said.
The PCL system is simple to deploy and can be located on remote borders, as well as in urban areas. Installation can include one sensor or a cluster of sensors for redundancy and improved coverage of specific problematic areas. The sites are connected to the central PCL command and control processing unit via a dedicated data link, according to the company.
Adi Dulberg, VP AND General Manager of IAI/ELTA’s Intelligence, Communications and EW division, said, “We are proud to introduce the new PCL system developed by IAI/ELTA, that detects and classifies aerial risks without unveiling the locator. The PCL system creates air situation picture and can be deployed independently or as an additional layer for air control radars, as part of a multi-disciplinary air situation picture."
