The ELM-2052, developed by IAI ELTA, represents a significant evolution in airborne fire control radar technology, designed for the latest generation of combat aircraft. Utilizing solid-state Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology, this advanced radar system offers unmatched capabilities for modern air warfare, supporting air-to-air, air-to-ground, and air-to-sea missions.
The ELM-2052 is engineered to fit seamlessly into a variety of fighter aircraft, adapting to different nose cone configurations which dictate its size, weight, and power consumption parameters. This radar excels in simultaneously scanning, detecting, tracking, and engaging multiple air and surface targets, providing comprehensive situational awareness and enhanced operational effectiveness in combat scenarios.

  • Pulse Doppler and AESA Technology: Ensures all-aspect, look-down/shoot-down capabilities and allows for agile beam management, essential for detecting and engaging threats at extended ranges.
  • Multi-Mode Operation: Capable of operating in several modes including Air-to-Air, Air-to-Ground, and Air-to-Sea, each with specialized functions like high-resolution mapping (SAR), Range Signature (RS) classification, and more.
  • High ECM and ECCM Capabilities: The radar's design incorporates strong electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) and immunity to electronic countermeasures (ECM), making it highly resilient in electronically contested environments.
  • Robust and Reliable: Features a rugged, modular design with built-in redundancy and an intensive built-in test system for highest mission reliability and low maintenance needs.

The ELM-2052 is a cutting-edge radar system that enhances the multi-domain capabilities of fighter aircraft, providing them with the necessary tools to achieve air superiority and execute precise strike missions effectively.
