Elta Systems sold Argentina drone guard radar systems designed to identify and disrupt UAVs

Elta Systems Israel Aircraft Industries sold the drone guard radar system designed to locate, identify and disrupt UAVs and drills to Argentina. The system has been sold in hundreds of units around the world and includes a variety of sensors - a radar for identifying flying objects, a dedicated komint system that detects the hover according to the transmission frequency and its unique protocol identification (the information is used to verify the target and reduce false alerts) and a camera for final identification of the object in the sky.

The Drone Guard, which was sold to Argentina, was purchased for the security of international events taking place in the country this year, including the Youth Olympics, which was hosted this year in the capital Buenos Aires and the G20 summit in late November.
As part of the Youth Olympics, the system ensured the opening ceremony that took place in the most central area of ​​the Argentinian capital - Avenida 9 de Julio, and then the event to guests at the famous Teatro Colon.
In such events, held in public spaces in city centers, there is a constant threat from hostile elements who wish to disrupt the proper course of events and / or harm human life. In recent years, the use of raspers has dramatically increased, as these tools have become a potential threat for mass events, sensitive installations and other aircraft due to their small size and slow flight at low altitudes. Small UAVs can be used for hostile purposes such as intelligence gathering, smuggling, or even armament.

In order to deal with the threat after locating it, Elta has developed advanced and specialized communications jamming systems, which operate in combination or independently, without damaging the communication of civilian infrastructures in the vicinity. The Drone Guard system is a solution based on the integration of 3D radar for aerial targets, electro-optical and kinetic devices, and a system designed to disrupt the flight's ability to fly "Tim.
The system is operational and operates successfully and extensively against a variety of UAVs and scenarios, including intermittent or simultaneous multi-purpose attacks.

Yoav Turgeman, IAI's Vice President and General Manager, said: "We are proud that Argentina has decided to purchase the Drone Guard system, an operational system that has proven its military and civilian capabilities worldwide. And many events around the world and we are happy to assist in protecting the major events in Buenos Aires. "The infiltration of hostile horsemen into crowded areas can be a disaster on a national level.
