EuroNaval 2006, Paris, France - Elta Systems Group, a subsidiary of Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI), has been awarded a $20 million contract to supply its EL/L-8248 Radar Warning & Jammer (RWJ) Electronic Warfare (EW) self-protection suite to an undisclosed customer.
EL/L-8248 RWJ is a compact radar warning& jammer designed to enhance the survivability of airborne military platforms operating in dense hostile environments.

EL/L-8248 RWJ is a flexible system that can be easily integrated into more comprehensive self-protection suites that include additional systems such as a Laser Warning Receiver (LWR), Missile Approach Warning System (MAWS) and an Advanced Chaff and Flares Dispenser (ACFD).
Israel Aircraft Industries is a recognized leader in the aerospace and defense industry and Israel’s largest industrial exporter. IAI's Elta Systems Group is one of Israel's leading defense electronics companies and a leader in Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) applications.
