Israel
Aerospace Industries (IAI) has expanded its best-selling Maritime Surveillance
Radar family. Models of two new additions to this family - the ELM-2022ES
radar and the ELM-2022ML lightweight radar - are displayed for the first

IAI ELM-2022ES Airborne AESA Maritime Surveillance Radar |
|
The
ELM-2022ES radar system, developed by ELTA Systems Ltd., a Subsidiary
and Group of IAI, provides optimal maritime and ground surveillance
and imaging capabilities, in addition to simultaneous air surveillance.
The system implements the proven operating modes and processing algorithms
of the ELM-2022 family, while using the unique capabilities of Active
Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology. The radar system combines
mechanical scan in the horizontal plane with fine beam shifting, and
full electronic scan in the vertical plane, providing improved detection,
particularly at high sea states.
The ELM-2022ES
can be installed on various mission aircraft, and be operated for
a variety of military and maritime law-enforcement missions, such
as Maritime Surveillance and Anti-Submarine Warfare, Exclusive Economic
Zone surveillance, ISR, HomeLand Security (HLS), and search and rescue
missions. It is the subject of growing interest by leading customers
worldwide.

IAI ELM-2022ML
Airborne Lightweight Maritime Surveillance Radar |
| |
|
|
ELM-2022ML
uses a unique front-end design in which most of the radar components
are installed directly on the mechanical antenna array. Weighing only
50kg, this radar is suitable for the growing market of small to medium
UAVs as well as light reconnaisance aircraft and helicopters. All modes
and capabilities of the existing radar are retained. This radar is especially
suitable for maritime law enforcement and HLS missions.
IAI's ELM-2022 family is a well established world leader in its category:
over 250 systems have been sold to customers in over twenty-five countries
worldwide. The radar is currently operated on many platforms including
the P-3, Bombardier Dash-8, Airbus Military C-295 and C-235, Dornier
228 Maritime Patrol Aircraft, maritime helicopters and on IAI's Heron
1 Maritime UAV.
"We are monitoring developing market requirements for performance
and size and continue to add new versions and modes of operation to
extend the capabilities of our radars," said Nissim Hadas, IAI
Executive VP and ELTA President, "these two new members of the
ELM-2022 family allow us to provide an optimal solution for every platform
category and customer requirement." |
