ELTA Systems Ltd (ELTA) is a leading Israeli defense technology company specializing in designing, developing, and producing advanced electronic systems and sensors. A group and subsidiary of the government-owned Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) [1] offers an extensive product portfolio encompassing Radar, ELINT, COMINT, C4STAR, Electronic Warfare, Communications, Autonomous Ground vehicles and Cyber systems. The company's products are utilized by Defense forces, Homeland Security, and law enforcement organizations utilize the company's products worldwide.
ELTA was established in 1967, and its main campus is located in the port city of Ashdod within the framework of Levi Eshkol government's policy of industry decentralization, as part of Levi Eshkol's policy of industry decentralization. This campus covers an area of 13,000 square meters and includes extensive green areas and facilities that benefit employees and visitors. An additional satellite facility is located in the desert city of Beersheba, where vehicle production and other manufacturing and assembly activities are implemented.
The group operates as a designer and manufacturer of defense systems house with products based on electromagnetic sensors (radar, electronic warfare and communication) and other advanced technologies.[2]
ELTA's highly skilled and experienced workforce includes 4,200 personnel, of which 90% are qualified scientists, engineers, computer specialists, and technicians. ELTA was the first company to introduce an Active Electronically Scanned Array Airborne (AESA) Early Warning Aircraft and implement advanced mission aircraft using efficient, high-performance business jet platforms. As a leader in many important fields, such as Synthetic Aperture Radar systems, ELTA has filed 811 patents in 159 categories. The company has received numerous awards and prizes, including the prestigious Israel Defense Award on fourteen occasions.
On July 24, 2024, Dror Bar was appointed IAI Vice President and CEO of ELTA.
