The orders are for RADA’s software-defined radars for counter rocket artillery and mortar (C-RAM), counter UAS and short range air defence applications. All orders were from new defence customers.
RADA's pulse-Doppler, multi-mission, AESA radars provide hemispheric spatial coverage for V/SHORAD, vehicle protection, APS, C-RAM and air surveillance with on-the-move capabilities
Dov Sella, CEO, RADA, said: ‘These are the result of the growing fruits of our ongoing business development efforts globally. The fact these orders represent an initiation penetration of new customers, it also brings with it a strong potential for future orders at a much greater scale.'
Deliveries of these orders will be completed in 2018.
