Elta Systems SAR can be mounted on many platforms including:
* Fighter aircraft pods
* Transport aircraft
* Tactical and Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
* Satellites (TECSAR)
Israel Aircraft Industries is a recognized leader in the aerospace and defense industry and Israel’s largest industrial exporter.
