IAI/ ELTA systems presents EL/M-2133 Wind Guard Radar at Eurosatory 2010

Israel Aerospace Industries' ELTA Systems Ltd. (IAI/ELTA), a Group and subsidiary of IAI, will introduce for the first time its new radar system for the self protection of armored fighting vehicles- the WindGuard. The EL/M-2133 WindGuard Radar is a four (4) faced distributed phased array Pulse Doppler radar designed to detect and automatically track Anti-Tank Rockets (ATRs), Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) and Tank Rounds. The radar is designed to be installed on Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs) such as Tanks and Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs), and other Surveillance and Reconnaissance Vehicles, including trucks and jeeps. Upon detection and identification of a potential threat, the radar provides early warning to the AFV crew, indicates accurate 3D direction of the threat, calculates Time-To-Impact (TTI), and automatically and rapidly activates reaction systems for protection of the AFV. The EL/M-2133 WindGuard Radar can be integrated with any soft-kill and hard-kill counter measures designed to protect the AFVs.
