RADA Electronic Industries Ltd has announced that it has received a follow-on order worth approximately USD1 million for peripheral equipment to support the installation and operation of its Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radars (MHR). This order is in continuation to the strategic order for radars, worth over USD8 million, which was recently reported by the company.
The radars and the peripherals will be used by a key US military force, providing it with air surveillance with emphasis on counter-UAV with the most advanced on-the-move capabilities. The systems are expected to be fielded for operational use soon after delivery.
Dov Sella, RADA’s CEO, said, “This follow-on order will enable the installation and operation of our radars under the demanding operational and environmental conditions under which these systems will be fielded. This includes tactical, on-the-move surveillance of hostile drones and other aerial targets, as part of the protection solution for the maneuver forces.”
RADA’s Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radars (MHR) are S-band, software-defined, pulse-Doppler, active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars. The radars introduce beam forming capabilities and advanced signal processing, which can provide for various missions on each radar platform and demonstrate an unprecedented performance-to-price ratio. The radars are compact and mobile, enabling multiple-missions on each radar, and work while on-the-move. RADA has sold over 300 radar systems to-date, to various global defence customers.
