RADA receives $4 million in radar orders
RADA Electronic Industries received a total of $4 million in radar orders during the second quarter of 2018, the company announced on 6 August.
The orders were for RADA’s software-defined radars for defence applications. These include active protection systems for armoured vehicles, counter rocket artillery and mortar, counter-UAS and short range air defence applications.
Dov Sella, CEO, RADA, said: ‘Our leading radar technologies are gaining increased traction and these recent orders are the initial fruits of our newly established presence in the US along with our global business development efforts. We expect the sales of our radars to accelerate in the coming quarters as the market becomes increasingly aware of the benefits of our products in providing solutions for emerging needs.’
