ELTA North America
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 enhanced beyond the prior operational capability. 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.
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,” says 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. Although ELTA NA can 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.”
