IAI Elta announces SAR/GMTI order
ELTA Systems will supply an airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar/ Ground Moving Target Indication (SAR/GMTI) Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) system to an unnamed customer in the Asia Pacific region, the company announced on 13 January.
The system to be delivered under the contract is the ELM 2060P podded system that will be carried by fighter aircraft. The solution delivers long range stand-off all-weather, SAR strip or spot imagery, with an option of GMTI overlay.
The imagery is transmitted in real time to a ground exploitation station, where multi-sensor imagery information is translated into an intelligence report and disseminated to the relevant users.
Nissim Hadas, executive VP, IAI, and president, ELTA, said: ‘Our advanced state-of-the art ISR suite provides all-weather intelligence capabilities for all combat echelons.
‘The combination of intelligence sensors, including real-time analysis and exploitation ground stations, will give our customer a crucial intelligence edge.’
