A recent and hitherto unannounced delivery of electronic warfare (EW) equipment to Germany highlights the growing export portfolio of Israeli electronic warfare firm Elisra. The EW/radar warning receiver equipment was supplied under an urgent operational requirement for the German army’s CH-53 helicopters, in advance of a deployment to Afghanistan.

Other recent Elisra successes were the selection of the company to provide the Brazilian air force with a full EW suite–including radar warning receivers, a missile warning system and electronic countermeasures–to upgrade its A-1 AMX fighter/attack aircraft, and selection by the U.S. Air Force to provide a personal search-and-rescue beacon/communications system. In the Republic of Korea Elisra is to provide a full EW suite for the C-130 Hercules, and the RWR for KAI’s FA-50 Golden Eagle multi-role fighter.
