Jun 12, 2006
Elta Systems, a Group and subsidiary of Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) will provide a Perimeter Protection System (PPS) to the Israel Airports Authority, for use in Israel's
Ben-Gurion international airport. The PPS will enhance the protection of the airport.
The Perimeter Protection System is required to operate day and night, under all weather conditions. The system is consisted of movement detection radars, day and night electro-optical cameras and advanced Command & Control (C&C) system.
The PPS is scheduled to become operational in November 2006. As an interim solution, an operational perimeter protection system of the same model that was sold to a foreign country's international airport will be installed in Ben-Gurion International Airport.
The interim system is consisted of medium range movement detection radar; POP - day and night stabilized electro-optical payload made by IAI's Tamam Division; and an automatic C&C system.
IAI/Elta Systems' PPS was chosen by the Israel Airports Authority thanks to Elta's worldwide reputation and successful past performance in the field of Homeland Security (HLS).
Mr. Nissim Hadas, Acting President of Elta Systems said that: "This PPS project marks an additional important expression of customers' confidence in Elta's proven capability to provide a variety of solutions in the area of HLS, such as protection systems for borders and facilities, coastal defense and self protection systems for passenger aircraft. Elta has offered and supplied such solutions to various customers around the world."
