Israeli developers have unveiled an innovative electronic warfare system capable of tracking and destroying drones

The Israeli company Elbit Systems has signed a contract to supply systems to counter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for one of the European members of NATO. The contract is estimated at tens of millions of dollars, and deliveries are scheduled for 2025. The military systems will provide protection for critical infrastructure and increase security in the face of growing threats from drones, writes Militarny.

The systems include a multi-component platform that combines radars, electro-optical sensors and electronic warfare (EW) means. They are capable of detecting, tracking and neutralizing various types of UAVs, including commercial drones that can be used for military purposes. A special feature is the ability to integrate with other defense systems of the country.

The growing threat from unmanned aerial vehicles, especially in military conflict zones, has become one of the key challenges for NATO countries. Elbit Systems systems have already been successfully used in other countries, demonstrating high efficiency in fighting drones used for reconnaissance, attacks or sabotage.

The agreement is part of a pan-European trend to strengthen defense capabilities in conditions of geopolitical instability. Analysts note that the integration of advanced Israeli technologies will help NATO members strengthen their defense capabilities in conditions of modern warfare.
