NETANYA, Israel, July 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- RADA Electronic
Industries Ltd. (NASDAQ: RADA) announced the incorporation of
its tactical radars in Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems
(C-sUAS) capabilities which were assessed and recently selected as
interim solutions by the US Army.
The assessment was performed by the Joint C-sUAS Office (JCO),
which was established by the Secretary of the Army per the
assignment of the Defense Secretary.
The US Army announcement can be viewed in the referenced link
here.
The Army has defined four C-sUAS categories: fixed/semi-fixed
systems, mounted/mobile system, handheld systems, and command &
control.
RADA's radars are the incumbent radar system in the L-MADIS
platform which was selected as the mounted/mobile system, and are
incorporated in part of the recommended fixed solutions, along with
other fixed solutions deployed across the US. While not relevant to
handheld systems, RADA's radars are compatible with the recommended
command and control systems.
Dov Sella, RADA's CEO,
commented, "The US Army's selection of our technology
re-emphasizes the positioning of our radars as a premiere option
for any C-sUAS solution. We believe that this selection will
increase our share in this proliferating market in the near term.
In line with the US Army statement, which "…will consider not only
the most up-to-date existing technologies, but, more importantly,
those new and emerging technologies currently in development", we
are in advanced development stages of our next-generation tactical
radars that aim to address future challenges and demanding
capabilities at highly affordable performance-to-price points."
Concluded Mr. Sella, "RADA USA, our Maryland-based subsidiary which was
established to serve the U.S. defense and aerospace markets from a
local base, is now operating at full production capability. It will
manufacture and fulfill all of the US demand for our advanced
multi-mission tactical radars, for C-sUAS and other
requirements."
