ANNAPOLIS JUNCTION, Md.,
Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ELTA
North America (ELTA NA), a
United States company
headquartered in Maryland, is a
defense industry leader in integrated Counter UAS solutions, fixed
and mobile radars, ground vehicle protection systems, airborne
sensors, and cutting-edge solutions for National Security across
multiple domains. ELTA NA performs
on both classified and unclassified US based contracts. Expertise
includes production and assembly of the Iron Dome radar among other
design, production, assembly, integration, test and repair efforts.
ELTA NA's participation in the
Joint Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft System Office (JCO) demo
consisted of two integrated systems that were enhanced beyond the
prior operational capability. Both the Modular Air Defense System
Kit and the On-the-Move System were demonstrated, primarily
highlighting the improved radar capabilities that provide
autonomous Detect, Track, Identification and Classification prior
to alerting an operator and recommending a defeat solution.
Reported by Sydney J. Freedberg
Jr. in the Breaking Defense July 24,
2024 "Swarm Wars" article, COL Michael Parent, Chief of Acquisitions &
Resources at the Army-led JCO stated, "Demo Five really was our
most challenging JCO demonstration to date." COL Parent further
stated that the systems attending this event all showed a "greater
level of maturity" and offered "much better solutions" to the
threat compared to those at previous demos. ELTA NA was one of 8 selected from a group of 60
applicants mature enough to handle this task. "This was an
incredibly difficult field demonstration," said ELTA NA CEO
Joe Adams. "There were up to 50
unmanned aircraft of different types converging on a single target
at one time. Our radars are cutting edge, there's a reason why they
were used by others in this JCO Demo." Mr. Adams also stated,
"Although ELTA NA has the ability to provide a fully integrated
solution, we believe it's important to work across industry as
partners for effective layered solutions to counter this dynamic
threat environment."
