World Defence News: IAI officially expands maritime surveillance radar family with the ELM-2022ES and the ELM-2022ML
Developed by ELTA Systems Ltd., a Subsidiary
and Group of IAI, it provides maritime / ground surveillance
and imaging capabilities in addition to simultaneous air surveillance.
IAI's ELM-2022 family is a well established world leader in its category:
over 250 systems have been sold to customers in over twenty-five countries
worldwide. The radar is currently operated on many platforms including
the P-3, Bombardier Dash-8, Airbus Military C-295 and C-235, Dornier
228 Maritime Patrol Aircraft, maritime helicopters and on IAI's Heron
1 Maritime UAV.
"We are monitoring developing market requirements for performance
and size and continue to add new versions and modes of operation to
extend the capabilities of our radars," said Nissim Hadas, IAI
Executive VP and ELTA President, "these two new members of the
ELM-2022 family allow us to provide an optimal solution for every platform
category and customer requirement."

Elta has also recently achieved more success for its ELM-2022A maritime surveillance radar, which offers a number of modes including inverse SAR.
This company has announced separate contracts from two undisclosed
customers, with a combined worth of $35 million. More than 100 ELM-2022As are in service on a variety of platforms, including Australia’s P-3 Orions.
The system implements the operating modes and processing algorithms
of the ELM-2022 family, while using the unique capabilities of Active
Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology. The radar system combines
mechanical scan in the horizontal plane with fine beam shifting, and
full electronic scan in the vertical plane, providing improved detection,
particularly at high sea states.

This radar uses a unique front-end design in which most of the radar components
are installed directly on the mechanical antenna array to achieve a weigh of only
50kg. This radar is suitable for small to medium
UAVs as well as light reconnaisance aircraft and helicopters. All modes
and capabilities of the existing radar are retained.
