Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has won a $550 million contract to provide its “Sky Capture” Air Defense system to an unnamed Asian nation.

Sky Capture is a command and control system for anti-aircraft systems, with information fusion based on multiple sensors, including advanced fire control and detection radars, electro-optical sensors all made by IAI and ELTA systems, the company said in a statement Monday.

The command and control system provides target data for the interceptors and manages the threat and firing detection in an optimal manner according to the target type.
