Elbit Systems has unveiled its latest air defense system, which can clear the skies by up to 4.35 miles (7 kilometers) and 15,000 feet (4,572 meters).
Red Sky is a tactical very short-range air defense (VSHORAD) system designed to provide protection against low-altitude aerial threats.
The Israeli company has recently signed an approximately $50 million contract to supply the air defense system to an international customer.
The Red Sky VSHORAD consists of Redrone – an electronic warfare (EW) solution designed for detecting, identifying, locating, and neutralizing unmanned aerial systems.
Elbit’s Redrone comprises DAiR Radar, Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) sensors, RF Jammer, and COAPS-L electro-optical (EO) payload.
Furthermore, it also includes anti-aircraft missile launchers.
