IAI signed a NIS 1.2 billion contract with a major European state in intelligence aircraft

Israel Aerospace Industries has signed a NIS 1.2 billion ($ 350 million) contract with a major European state to sell intelligence aircrafts. Intelligence aircrafst are developed in the Elta division of Israel Aerospace Industries, the radar and intelligence house of Israel, a world leader in the field.
Aerospace intelligence aircraft operate in Israel and many countries of the world and are considered to be strategically important. The aerospace industry is one of the few companies in the world with the ability to develop these unique technologies. The company's breakthrough in the field of intelligence aircraft is made possible by and alongside the technology of sensing systems, the development of algorithms and artificial intelligence-based software (AI & ML) applications, on the basis of which high-performance intelligence systems developed on executive aircraft. Prior to that, most of the world's intelligence aircraft were deployed on large transport aircraft or passenger aircraft.
Director of Airborne Systems, Gideon Landa: "We are proud to be at the forefront of this strategic intelligence market and to provide our clients with the world's most advanced systems. Aerospace sees Europe as a major target for its business operations, will continue to offer the most unique and advanced systems and support them for the operational needs of our various customers. "
ALTA has four major product lines in the field of intelligence aircraft:
* AEW & C - Early warning and aerial control based on radar and satellite (peer / predator detection) with electronic scanning capability Air fights and assault by directing fighter jets. A leading product in this field is a CAEW based on an airplane, which carries AESA radar systems and radars with full 360 ° coverage. In recent years, Alta has signed cooperation agreements with the European Airbus Company and the Brazilian Umbrella Company for the development and marketing of other AEW & C aircraft solutions.
* AGS - Intelligence and air-ground control aircraft for wide area scanning, based on GMTI / SAR radar with AESA technology, Sigint (Alint and Comint) systems, ICT and self-defense, combined in one on one system. The artificial intelligence system (AI and ML) builds a large-scale, wide-area scene in all weather conditions and generates and distributes real-time target data to the various operational consumers. A leading product in this field is the MARS2 based on an executive aircraft platform and integrating " AESA digital with breakthrough capabilities, innovative sigint and advanced multi-INT information fusion system.
* MPA - reconnaissance and naval aircraft combining radar search and tracking radar AESA with Sigint and EO / IR observation system, with the aim of building a comprehensive maritime scene image for search and rescue missions, marine policing, environmental monitoring, surface warfare and anti-submarine combat. These systems are integrated on executive aircraft And reconnaissance aircraft are a key component of the operations of the Coast Guard and Marine Corps in the world. Elta's 2022 ELM Marine Reconnaissance Radar family is recognized as a world leader and integrated into hundreds of sea reconnaissance aircraft serving in many continents.
* SIGINT - An intelligence aircraft to monitor the electromagnetic spectrum, to detect and accurately detect beams and networks and to create a multidisciplinary electromagnetic map of the arena. Alta has developed and supplied advanced IDGs on executive planes to the IDF, and has provided airborne SIGET systems to countries around the world.
