The Israel Navy has signed a contract with the Elbit Systems, a Israel Aerospace Industries subsidiary, for the supply of new radar systems to be installed on the Navy's Saar 4.5 class missile corvettes. Smaller versions Elta's new Alpha radars will be installed on the Navy ships, but one system per ship will be enough to provide the Navy with a range of maritime capabilities. The radar will also improve the Navy's ability to defend gas rigs, reported Israeli daily Globes. According to the contract, Elbit will deliver the radars in the next two years. "The decision to procure the Elta radars is further recognition of our ability to provide the IDF with better technology and operational systems compared with corresponding systems in the world," said IAI CEO Joseph Weiss. "This is a further link in the company's tradition of providing Israel with a system that meets its relevant defense needs".
