RADA’s Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radar at the Heart of Rafael’s “Drone Dome”, wins UK MoD Tender
August 20 2018 - 9:00AM
RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. (NASDAQ: RADA)
announced that its Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radars (MHR), which
are embedded in the Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Drone Dome
counter-drone solution, will be delivered to the British Army in
the coming months. These systems will be used to protect from
airborne drones some sensitive facilities and sites on which
British armed forces are deployed. The British Army is the first
customer for this new and advanced Drone Dome system.
Several initial systems are being purchased, with additional
potential for significant further orders which are expected to
materialize in the coming months and quarters.
Rafael’s Drone Dome team together with RADA, won
the tender published by the UK Ministry of Defense, ahead
of Israel Aerospace Industries’ subsidiary Elta and
Italian company Leonardo.
RADA’s MHR provides 360-degree surveillance and
detects the drones at distances of 3-5 kilometers. Signal
intelligence system along with electro-optical sensors, provide
additional layers of threat classification and identification,
while RF jamming provides the soft-kill layer of this solution.
Deliveries of this program are expected to be
concluded within 2018.
Dov Sella, RADA’s CEO,
commented, "This win, in view of the advanced competition,
demonstrates the leadership of our software defined, multi-mission
AESA radars in the fields of VSHORAD (very short range air defense)
and C-UAV (counter UAV) warfare. It is the first sale of the Drone
Dome solution, after intensive global business development efforts
over the past 2 years by the joint team, to a leading global force
such as the UK Army. As a result, we expect that sales of these
radars, as part of the Drone Dome solution, will gain significant
momentum in the coming quarters.”
