Defense World:
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) unit Elta Systems has won a contract to supply C-MMR multi-task radar systems to the Finnish army. Elta did not disclose the price of the deal. However, defense market sources said that the “deal was for tens of millions of dollars,” Globes reported Monday.
The radar systems that Elta will supply are from the MMR series, which also includes radar systems used by the Iron Dome active missile defense system. These radar systems are smaller than the ones used for Iron Dome. They can identify rocket fire, artillery shells, and mortar shells, and provide warning of such launchings.
The radar systems to be supplied to the Finnish army are capable of simultaneously identifying artillery fire and conducting aerial surveillance, and can therefore significantly restrict air movement of hostile forces in various areas Elta told Globes.
