ELI-3360 is an all-weather, multi-mission, long-range Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) integrating ELTA's operationally proven sensors and mission systems with high performance business jet platforms. The business jets can either be mid-size (Gulfstream G280 and Bombardier Challenger 650) or large-body (Bombardier Global 6500).

These aircraft offer quick deployment, low operating costs, smooth ride performance, long-range and endurance. Equipped with an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) multi-mode radar from the ELTA’s world-renowned airborne radar family, ELI-3360 provides exceptional maritime, ground and aerial surveillance, imaging, and tracking. This radar can detect and identify a wide range of targets, from large warships to small speed boats, ensuring comprehensive coverage.

The aircraft is open architecture and equipped with an Electro-Optic Infra-Red (EO/IR) Imaging payload for day and night observation, Automatic Identification System (AIS), and a Search and Rescue - Direction Finder (SAR-DF). It can easily be augmented with additional sensors for Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and maritime environmental protection. Additionally, the aircraft features a comprehensive Self Protection Suite. The entire payload suite is managed by ELTA’s Multi- Mission Management System.

The ASW and ASuW versions of the Challenger 650 and Global 6500 platforms can be equipped with an Acoustics Sensor Suite, Weapon Delivery System, Torpedo or Air to Surface Missiles (ASM).
