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.

ELM-2022ES AESA radar system,

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.

ELM-2022ML Light Weight radar system

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.
