Israel Aerospace Industries has unveiled its ELM-2112FP persistent surveillance foliage penetration radar.
"The ELM-2112FP assures surveillance continuity with respect to targets and threats as these enter forested areas usually invisible for conventional motion detection radars," an IAI news release said. "The radar can be connected to the same command and control system as other deployed radars, this capability addresses the 'intelligence gap' that have existed up until now, due to foliage and undergrowth."
The ELM-2112FP radar is based on frequency modulated continuous wave technology and has a range of several kilometers when scanning forested areas regardless of whether a line of sight exists.
