AESA radar system, dubbed "the eyes of the aircraft," is under development by Hanwha, designed to detect and track multiple targets with more advanced and efficient components. Elta has the technology used in AESA radars to process its signals.

With Elbit, Hanwha will explore paths for partnership in urban air mobility (UAM) and other aviation electronic technologies to create synergy between the two companies. The South Korean company said in its announcement that Elbit is known as a leading developer of various avionics equipment, including head mounted display (HMD) designed to project information to the pilot with enhanced situational awareness and 360-degree images of the scene.
