Values & Benefits
The ELM-2022ML is a compact and lightweight radar, weighing only 54 kg, making it ideal for fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Its reduced size and power requirements (1.1 kW) do not hinder its capability to perform in all weather conditions—day or night. It effectively penetrates environmental obstructions like clouds, rain, and fog, providing reliable data in challenging scenarios.
Designed for a wide range of operational missions, the ELM-2022ML excels in maritime surveillance, EEZ patrol, search and rescue operations, and law enforcement activities such as fishery protection and drug enforcement. Additionally, it supports air-to-air and air-to-ground intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance (ISR) missions, making it a versatile choice for various security and surveillance needs.
The ELM-2022ML features sophisticated radar technologies including synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging for detailed ground observations and moving target indication (MTI) for tracking mobile objects. It also supports automatic tracking and classification of small targets in adverse sea conditions, enhancing its effectiveness in maritime surveillance.
