ALPHA,
a radar developed and produced by ELTA Systems, an IAI group and subsidiary,
is a key component of the ship's weapon system and is able to perform
a variety of missions simultaneously such as multiple target tracking
and identification, and defense munitions guidance. It provides 360-degree
defense against a wide variety of airborne platforms and munitions. |
The
ALPHA radar will replace existing weapon systems: the Automatic Missile
Detection Radar (AMDR) and the Dagon Surface Search radar.
The ALPHA radar, also known as the ELM- 2258, is a derivative of the
Multi-Function Surveillance and Threat Alert Radar (MF-STAR), which
is being produced under contract with the Israel Navy as well as for
foreign navies.
Nissim
Hadas, IAI Corporate VP & ELTA System president said:" ELTA
has an excellent reputation producing naval radar systems for diverse
applications. The fact that the Israel Navy chose ELTA's advanced ALPHA
radar, demonstrates yet again, IAI's capabilities in supplying the Israel
Defense Force with the very best solutions. This is one more evidence
of ELTA's ongoing contribution to the security of the state of Israel."
