The new EL/M-2083 phased array radar, developed and manufactured by Israel Aircraft Industries' Elta Systems Group (IAI/Elta), has been incorporated into the Israel Air Force's Extended Air Defense Aerostat system.
EL/M-2083 is an early warning and control phased array radar designed to detect hostile approaching aircraft from long ranges, especially when they approach at low altitudes. Data gathered by the radar is transmitted to a central air defense command & control center where it is used to maintain an extended comprehensive air situation picture.
Once a potential threat has been detected the onboard system alerts responders in a timely manner.
Israel Aircraft Industries, Ltd. is a leading manufacturer in the international aerospace and defense community and Israel's largest industrial exporter. IAI's ELTA Systems Group, is one of Israel's leading defense electronics companies and a leader in Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR), Early Warning and Control, Home-Land Security (HLS), Self-Protection and Self-Defense and Fire Control applications.
