Israel Aerospace Industries
An early warning aircraft (CAEW) manufactured by Elta, a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries, was delivered yesterday afternoon (19.9/550) to the Israeli Air Force. The aircraft is a GXNUMX manufactured by the American Gulfstream Co. which recently completed a conversion for the purpose of adapting it to the installation of the electronic systems manufactured by Elta. Before landing in the afternoon in Israel, the plane went through a series of test flights in the US to prove the performance and suitability of the plane.
The system provided to the Air Force is one of the most advanced of its kind, designed for the detection and tracking of targets, intelligence gathering and control and control tasks. The system will be integrated into the air detection system of the Air Force for very long ranges.
The system includes features such as: the integration of two radar systems, which operate simultaneously, in different frequency ranges, and significantly improve performance, as well as full 360-degree target detection capability; The system incorporates very advanced signal processing based on several patents developed at Alta, enabling high detection capacity; A unique architecture has been developed that allows a convenient and easy adjustment of the communication package to the customer's needs.
The system purchased by the Ministry of Defense for the Israeli Air Force is the third generation of warning systems developed at Alta, starting in the 80s. The company is known as a leader in the market for intelligence and communication systems in the air, in space, at sea and on land. The use of an executive plane to build this sophisticated system is efficient and economical over a large passenger plane as was customary in the past.
The plane has unique performances such as:
• Flight at high altitude, which guarantees detection of low targets - fly, at large ranges.
• Extremely long residence time.
• A modern aircraft with high reliability and very low operating and maintenance costs.
The aircraft delivered today to the Air Force is a significant part of a business sector in the aerospace industry that should reach about 1 billion dollars in the coming years. As we know, the development of aerial intelligence aircraft is an important and advanced issue in the world of international aviation.
