Elbit Systems has secured a contract valued at around USD 60 million to provide its multi-layered Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) to a European NATO member, with the contract scheduled to take place over a span of three years.
Elbit Systems is set to provide its ReDrone modular Counter-UAS solution as part of the contract. This solution includes Elbit Systems’ sophisticated DAiR Radar, SIGINT (Signal Intelligence) sensors, electronic warfare (EW) countermeasures, and an electro-optical (EO) payload suitable for both day and night operations. Together, these components aim to deliver an improved integrated aerial perspective and advanced electronic attack capabilities.
The ReDrone system, characterized by its modular design and capability to integrate multiple sensors and missions, is a key component of Elbit’s sophisticated portfolio in Electronic Warfare (EW), Radars, and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT). This system surpasses conventional active and passive sensors by facilitating the swift detection and localization of numerous drones concurrently across diverse communication channels within a secured area.
It is designed to detect, identify, locate, track, and neutralize hostile Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) effectively, regardless of the time of day or the environment, whether urban or rural, and under varying weather conditions. The solution offers both stationary and mobile configurations, which can be mounted on vehicular platforms to provide enhanced operational versatility. Furthermore, it incorporates advanced Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, and Intelligence (C4I) capabilities for thorough mission management.
Oren Sabag, General Manager of Elbit Systems ISTAR & EW: “This contract, coming amid the rising threat of unmanned aerial systems, follows a series of contracts awarded to us in the CUAS field. We are proud that another NATO member country has chosen our solution, further demonstrating the robustness and effectiveness of our system, built on our advanced capabilities in EW, SIGINT, radar, and EO technologies.”
