• Itzhak Nissan, IAI's President and CEO: "IAI's years of operational experience and proven technologies are evident in the products exhibited at the show in Bengaluru.
IAI sees great potential in the Indian market, in the fields of Airborne Early Warning, Homeland Security, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, advanced Radars, and others"
• ELTA awards a $6.3 million contract for mobile deployable image intelligence (IMINT) exploitation station for the Spanish Air Force
"The CAEW aircraft is integrated within the Israeli Air Force (IAF) air picture network and has proven to be of great operational value. We are extremely pleased with this new addition to our force.
The CAEW aircraft has been flying extensively during the last year, both in operational and training missions" said Israeli Air Force representatives prior to the Aero India Aerospace Exhibition in Bengaluru India (February 11-15, 2009).
IAI will present its Conformal Airborne Early Warning & Control (CAEW) Aircraft for the first time in Asia.
The CAEW aircraft, installed onboard a modified Gulfstream G550 business jet, were delivered in 2008 to the Israel Air Force and serve a variety of missions, including Early Warning and Air Combat Command and Control.
The EL/W-2085 CAEW aircraft integrates Radar, Identify Friend or Foe (IFF), Electronic Support Measures and Electronic Intelligence (ESM/ELINT), and Communication Support Measures and Communication Intelligence (CSM/COMINT).
In addition, ELTA will present its EL/I-3001 Airborne Integrated Signal Intelligence System (AISIS), as well as Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA), Multi Function Radar (MMR), Mobile Satellite Communication (SATCOM) Stations and AESA Fire Control Radars for fighters.
The Spanish Air Force (SAF) awarded IAI/ELTA a contract worth $6.3 million (€4.5 million) for a mobile deployable image intelligence (IMINT) exploitation station. The SAF purchased IAI/ELTA's Deployable (Mobile) Multi-Sensor Ground Exploitation Station to enhance its on-the-move IMINT capabilities.
Additional IAI products and technologies being shown at Aero India include:
• Models of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs): Heron and the Naval Rotary UAV (NRUAV) system for ship deck autonomous operation.
• A new generation Aerial Tanker and Air Refueling System, for conversion of new generation platforms like B767 to Multi-Role Tanker/Transport (MRTT) aircraft
• Barak-8 Missile Defense System, and Network Centric Laser Guided Weapons: LAHAT, Nimrod and Nimrod MK 3
• Fire Ball Smart Mortar Bomb Weapons System – a laser homing 120/121mm mortar bomb with dual mode precision homing, GPS & Laser, with the ability to reach almost twice the range of conventional mortar bombs (up to 15 km)
• The Plug-In Optronic Payload (POP) Family – POP300LR Observer, Mini-POP, and Micro-POP, Multi-Mission Optronic Stabilized Payload- MOSP3000, and Navigation Inertial Measuring Units for both land and aerial missions
