IAI is supplying more and more solutions for maritime patrol missions that are part of the off shore security growing market.
Some of the solutions will be displayed this week in the offshore and perimeter security conferenec that I-HLS is organizing in Rishon Le- Zion.
The Israeli company is at an advanced stage of integration and ground testing for the ELM-2022ES Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar a new version of its widely used ELM-2022 Maritime Patrol Radar (MPR).
The ELM-2022ES AESA MPR, developed by IAI’s subsidiary and group, ELTA Systems Ltd, implements the proven operating modes of the ELM-2022 family, together with additional modes derived from the unique capabilities of AESA technology. The radar system combines mechanical scanning in the horizontal plane with fine beam shifting, and full electronic scanning in the vertical plane, providing improved detection, particularly at high sea states, and enabling efficient use of the radar in air/air and air/surface modes.

According to Elta the use of state-of-the-art signal processors, based on the latest powerful multi-core components, allows the implementation of new algorithms that take maximum advantage of the AESA technology. This results in a significant improvement in target detection performance is in imaging modes such as Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) and in Ground Moving Target Indication (GMTI) modes.
The system is undergoing qualification tests for airborne applications, preparing it for delivery by mid-2015 and is fully compatible with current radar installations.
