The defense company will deliver its ReDrone™ Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems to enhance drone detection, tracking, and neutralization capabilities, addressing growing aerial threats over a three-year period.
Israeli defense company Elbit Systems has been awarded a contract worth approximately $60 million to supply multi-layered Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) to a NATO European country. The contract will be executed over a three-year period.
Under the agreement, Elbit Systems will deliver its ReDrone™ modular Counter-UAS solution. The ReDrone system includes Elbit Systems' advanced DAiR radar, SIGINT (Signal Intelligence) sensors, electronic warfare (EW) countermeasures, and electro-optical (EO) day/night payloads. Together, these components provide an enhanced integrated aerial picture and high-end electronic attack capabilities.
According to Elbit Systems, the ReDrone solution offers functionalities that surpass conventional active and passive sensors, enabling the rapid detection and localization of multiple drones across various communication channels within the protected area. The system can detect, identify, locate, track, and neutralize hostile UAS, operating effectively day and night in both urban and rural environments and under diverse weather conditions.
