IAI's ELTA Systems Awarded Contract by Spanish Air Force to Supply Deployable Image Intelligence (IMINT) Exploitation Station

Feb 11, 2009

The Spanish Air Force (SAF) awarded Israel Aerospace Industries' ELTA Systems Ltd. (IAI/ELTA) a contract worth $6.3 million (€4.5 million) for a mobile deployable image intelligence (IMINT) exploitation station. The SAF purchased IAI/ELTA's Deployable (Mobile) Multi-Sensor Ground Exploitation Station to enhance its on-the-move IMINT capabilities.

ELTA Systems Ltd., a group and wholly owned subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., develops and manufactures a family of near real-time IMINT Exploitation Stations.

The exploitation stations are designed to be connected to various IMINT sensors, such as electro-optics (E/O), infra-red (IR), video, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Ground Moving Target Indication (GMTI).

The Station produces all-weather IMINT, 24 hours a day, by fast processing data supplied by the various sensors, and disseminates reports to intelligence users. This data, along with information gathered from other sources, can play a central role in border protection.

ELTA Systems Ltd., a group and wholly owned subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries, is one of Israel’s leading Defense Electronics companies and a global leader in a variety of areas.

ELTA operates as a Defense Systems House, based on electromagnetic sensors (Radar, Electronic Warfare and Communication) and on IT.

ELTA Systems’ products are designed for Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR), Early Warning and Control, Homeland Security (HLS), Self-Protection and Self-Defense, and Fire Control applications.

ELTA Systems' products include systems, subsystems and critical technological subassemblies and components, designed and produced in-house.

This capability enables ELTA to offer comprehensive solutions and sell products and systems tailored and adapted to the special requirements of customers and users, thereby creating a competitive advantage vis-a-vis the leading defense firms world-wide.
