UAV's payloads:

EL/L-8385 - Integrated UAV ESM/ELINT System (IUELIS)

The EL/L-8385 is a UAV Integrated Electronic Support Measures (ESM) and Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) System.

The system is designed to cope with the challenges of modern dense radar environments and to perform long-range, high endurance ESM/ELINT missions.

The system's task are to search, intercept, measure, locate, analyze, classify and monitor ground, airborne and naval radar transmissions characterized by high mobility, short duration, modern signals and frequent changes in signals parameters.

The main purpose of the system is to disseminate intelligence reports, including real-time Electronic Order of Battle (EOB), and to provide tactical and strategic intelligence that can be seamlessly integrated in the nation's intelligence database.

The modular architecture, the compact size, the low power consumption and the flexible interfaces of the ESM/ELINT UAV Payload enable its integration in a variety of UAV's, from Tactical to MALE/HALE UAV's.

EL/M-2055 SAR/GMTI UAV Radar Sensors Family

The new generation of EL/M-2055 family of SAR/GMTI radar sensors provides a state-of-the-art solution for all-weather, air-to-ground ISTAR applications onboard manned and unmanned aircraft.

The EL/M-2055 perpetuates the maturity and proven capabilities of ELTA's legacy SAR/GMTI payloads. It utilizes the latest technologies to substantially reduce weight, volume and power consumption, concurrent with significant performance improvement.

The EL/M-2055 features modular, open architecture, and can be easily configured for a broad range of installations, spanning from small-tactical UAV and light reconnaissance aircraft through high performance MALE UAVs and manned reconnaissance systems.

EL/K-7071 – Integrated UAV COMINT/DF System (IUCOMS)

The EL/K-7071 is a UAV Integrated Communication Intelligence (COMINT) System.

The system is designed to cope with the challenges of modern dense communications network environments and to perform long-range, high endurance COMINT missions.

The system's task are to scan, intercept, measure, locate, analyze, classify and monitor ground, airborne and naval communications transmissions characterized by high mobility, short duration, modern signals and frequent changes in signal parameters.

The main purpose of the system is to disseminate intelligence reports including, real-time Electronic Order of Battle (EOB), and to provide tactical and strategic intelligence that can be seamlessly integrated in the nation's intelligence database.

The modular architecture, the compact size, the low power consumption and the flexible interfaces of the COMINT/DF UAV Payload enable its integration in a variety of UAV's, from Tactical to MALE/HALE UAVs.

EL/K 1891/2 – SATCOM - Satellite Communication Network

The EL/K-1891 is a full duplex X or Ku Band microwave Satellite Communication (SATCOM) Network ideally suited for uninterrupted wideband Over-The-Horizon (OTH) communications.

Each subscriber port of the SATCOM network can be either static or mobile (Ground-based Mobile, Airborne or Shipborne) and must be within the satellite's footprint area with its antenna tracking the satellite.

The communication between any two subscribers is bi-directional and routed via standard links of a Geo-Stationary Commercial Satellite.

The digital data rate on the carrier link can be as high as 128kbps and can include voice, data and compressed JPEG video.

The SATCOM Network is employed for military, para-military and commercial applications.

POP(Plug-in Optronic Payload) Family

POP 300 (Plug-in Optronic Payload)

The POP 300 is an advanced Electro-Optical (EO) payload fully qualified for air, ground and marine application.

POP is a gyro stabilized dual sensor single LRU (Line Replaceable Unit) payload. It is modular, lightweight and compact, having an attractive price performance ratio. POP is a day and night observation system with high quality thermal imager (inSb FPA FLIR) and color TV. Installed on unmanned platforms (UAV's, RPV's robotic vehicles) POP is operated via a data-link from a remote ground station. In case of manned platforms (helicopters, vessels, vehicles) an on-board single observer, using a specially designed Hand Control Grip (HCG) and video monitor operates the POP.

The COST (Commercial Of The Shelf) product, has the same pitch-over-yaw gyro stabilized observation mechanism that incorporates the same continuous zoom (x45) color day camera and FLIR. The FLIR channels in the product has the same Automatic Video Tracker (AVT) for fixed and moving target tracking during day and night time.

Mini POP

Mini POP is an 8" lightweight payload for day/night observation system designed for military, para-military and civilian applications. The payload provides real-time image, automatic video tracker capabilities and precise target geo-location for small platforms including small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), armored vehicles, Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and naval vessels.

Mini POP is a dual axis, gyro-stabilized payload. The payload is one Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), open architecture design that carries up to four sensors. The basic configuration includes a continuous zoom color day camera and a thermal imaging camera. A laser pointer, eye-safe laser range finder and automatic television tracker can be incorporated for greater capabilities and functionality. Mini POP is remotely controlled through RS422 serial communication or by a HAND Control Unit (HCU) (option).

Micro POP

Micro POP is new, lightweight day/night stabilized observation system for short-range observation missions. The system provides advanced, enhanced image capabilities for mini Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (mini-UAV's).

Micro POP is built on a one line replaceable unit (LRU) open architecture carrying a single sensor that can be switched in minutes. Sensors contain either a "day" continuous zoom color camera or a "night" uncooled thermal imaging camera.
