The contract is worth over $150 million, and includes numerous fixed sites and mobile systems, which will be based on ELTA's advanced ELI-6063 integrated SIGINT and EW systems, with subcontractors from several leading European defence companies.
The modernized system will provide a dual civilian and military ground and Air Situational Picture (ASP) as well as an enhanced military Electronic Order of Battle (EOB) picture, for both the tactical and strategic echelons of the customer's army and air force.
ELI-6063 is an advanced fixed and mobile ground-based integrated EW system for Communication and for Non-Communication SIGINT.
