The Israeli company Elbit Maarahot has signed a contract for the supply of ReDrone systems, designed to combat drones, with a European country that is a member of NATO. The contract is worth $60 million dollars.
The system uses radar developed by Elbit and radio-electronic warfare means to detect, track and neutralize drones.
The ReDrone system includes Elbit Systems' advanced DAiR radar, SIGINT (Signal Intelligence) sensors, electronic warfare (EW) countermeasures, and electro-optical (EO) day/night payloads. Together, these components provide an enhanced integrated aerial picture and high-end electronic attack capabilities.
The system can detect, identify, locate, track, and neutralize hostile UAS, operating effectively day and night in both urban and rural environments and under diverse weather conditions.
