Elbit Systems Wins C-UAS Contract with NATO Country
Elbit Systems Ltd. has been awarded a contract valued at approximately $60 million to provide its cutting-edge counter unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) to a NATO European country. This contract will be executed over the next three years and involves the delivery of Elbit’s ReDrone™ modular C-UAS solution.
The ReDrone solution features a suite of advanced technologies, including the DAiR Radar, signal intelligence (SIGINT) sensors, electronic warfare (EW) countermeasures, and an electro-optical (EO) day/night payload. Together, these capabilities create an enhanced integrated aerial picture and provide robust electronic attack options against unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
Elbit’s ReDrone system stands out with its modular design, supporting multiple sensors and missions. It goes beyond typical active and passive sensor capabilities, allowing for the rapid identification and location of several drones simultaneously across various communication channels. This makes it effective for protecting designated areas from threats.
The system is designed to operate in different environments, whether urban or rural, day or night, and is resilient under various weather conditions. It offers both stationary and mobile configurations, enabling deployment on vehicular platforms, which enhances operational flexibility. Additionally, it incorporates advanced command and control functionalities, facilitating comprehensive mission management for military operators.
Oren Sabag, General Manager of Elbit Systems ISTAR & EW, expressed pride in the contract, particularly as it arrives during an era of escalating threats presented by unmanned aerial systems. He emphasized that the contract reflects the confidence a NATO member has in Elbit’s capabilities, showcasing the effectiveness and robustness of the company’s C-UAS solutions, built on advanced EW, SIGINT, radar, and EO technology.
This significant contract is the latest in a series awarded to Elbit Systems in the C-UAS sector, reinforcing the company’s strong position in the defense technology market and commitment to enhancing security through innovative solutions.
