Israel Aerospace Industries MMR radars, have successfully passed Czech Army military tests​

• The MMR radars are the most advanced air surveillance and air-defense radars in the world

• The radar deal was signed with the Czech Defence Ministry in December 2019, and included close industrial cooperation between Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and local Czech companies RETIA and VTU

• The joint production includes the transfer of technology to local Czech industries for production and lifetime maintenance, and upgrading existing systems to incorporate the world’s most advanced technologies

• MMR is one of the world’s most used radar systems providing high-quality aerial situational awareness

• To date, 200 systems have been sold worldwide, and integrated into air-defense systems such as Barak and Iron Dome

IAI vice president and Elta CEO Yoav Tourgeman: “IAI’s MMR radars can be found in all of Israel’s defensive systems, and have proven their operational effectiveness providing Air Situational Picture for many years and assisting air and missile defense.


The systems supplied to the Czech Republic, and those still to be delivered in the coming months, are intended to fulfil the same function, to safeguard the Czech people, providing them with the most advanced defence against airborne threats. We are proud to be involved in this important cooperation which we have put in place with local companies, sharing knowledge and technologies. Despite three challenging years since signing the agreement, when we had to deal with the global challenges brought about by the corona pandemic, including shutdowns, and integration to local C2 and NATO systems, IAI-ELTA and the local Czech companies succeeded to develop pathbreaking solutions, transferring both knowledge and technology. The radar was successfully integrated into NATO C@ echelons through the Czech C2. The advanced radars to the Czech Republic can simultaneously identify and classify hundreds of targets, drones, missile barrages, rockets, and other new threats in the arena.


Israeli radars are compatible with NATO systems and will replace the previously-used but now obsolete radar technology of Russian origin.


An important part of the project is Czech industry involvement in a contract worth some thirty percent of the total value, which was signed together with the main supply agreement between the Czech and Israeli Ministries of Defence. Under this contract, ELTA Systems has transferred the capability to produce modules that make up the radar antenna, using gallium nitride technology, to its Czech industrial partner, RETIA. The state-owned Military Technical Institute (VTU) is also a partner. An assembly line four radar modules was established in retia RETIA which will also provide these modules for call CZ. This capability also allows local companies to provide Czech self-reliant maintenance and support for the full lifetime off the radars.

Israel Aerospace Industries has signed contracts with 3 NATO countries to supply the Rotem loitering munition system​

Following the recent announcement that NATO member Estonia has purchased long-range loitering munitions from Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), the company has signed separate contracts with three additional NATO countries worth several millions of dollars to supply Rotem loitering munitions. Rotem is a unique combat-proven Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) tactical loitering munition, intended for use by customers' special forces and can also serve for test and evaluation purp


Rotem is part of IAI's family of loitering munitions which includes Harpy, Harop and Mini-Harpy, and has been proven in different combat situations since 2019.


Avi Elisha, MBT Missile Division VP and General Maneger: "This announcement follows the decision of another NATO member, Estonia, to purchase IAI's long-range loitering munitions. Acquisition of Rotem by three different NATO members reflects the high and growing global demand for tactical loitering munitions. IAI has extensive experience in loitering munitions, having invented this type of munition almost 40 years ago. Rotem’s unique capabilities include Vertical Takeoff and Landing making it a perfect choice for close combat scenarios, including urban combat."


Rotem is effective up to a range of ten kilometers and was designed for deployment by an individual soldier at the infantry or small unit/special forces level. Its simple operation and robust design make it highly cost-effective.


IAI's loitering munitions have emerged as a disrupting new weapons category following many deployments in recent conflicts. This weapon has reshaped the battlefield and inflicted damage on a scale far beyond its physical size. As a result, armed forces worldwide are interested in the offensive and defensive aspects of this type of weapon as they realize the unique capabilities they enable.


Lightweight, compact, and affordable, Rotem is specially designed and proven to perform in urban warfare environments. It allows individual soldiers to gain an elevated view of the area around them, look over hills or within an urban environment and beyond the line of sight. The soldier can then strike the enemy as soon as targets appear.
Rotem carries both day and night electrooptical sensors to give tactical field units an advantage against adversaries, acting as a sensor and a weapon of opportunity. Unlike missiles or rockets, it can be launched to seek a target, but is disarmed if authorization to attack is not received. If this occurs, Rotem can fly back to be retrieved safely, have its battery replaced, and be deployed immediately on a new mission.


With a flight endurance of 30 minutes, or with an ability to loiter for up to nine hours, Rotem can hover above a high building or hill, with an open camera and datalink – while waiting for the target to emerge. Once the target is detected Rotem can then attack instantly.
