Elbit Systems Ltd. stated that it has received a $55 million contract to provide the Netherlands with multi-layered ReDrone Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS). The deal will be carried out over a four-year period. Elbit Systems will provide the ReDrone integrated Counter-UAS solution in a number of mobile, stationary, and deployed variants as part of the deal, along with a logistical support package and training.

 

The advanced DAiR Radar, signal intelligence (SIGINT) sensors, and COAPS-L electro-optical (EO) payload from Elbit Systems make up the ReDrone Solution. These components offer an improved integrated aerial picture as well as cutting-edge electronic attack capabilities, and they are all fully controlled by a single command and control system.

 

The ReDrone system offers capabilities outside of the typical active and passive sensors, allowing it to quickly identify and locate several drones at once inside the restricted area. The system is capable of detecting, identifying, locating, tracking, and neutralizing hostile UAS at any time of day or night, in both urban and rural settings, and in all kinds of weather.

 

Oren Sabag, General Manager of Elbit Systems ISTAR & EW: "The growing threat of drones creates an increasing demand for our Counter UAS solutions. We have leveraged our technology of advanced radar, signal intelligence, electro optic and electronic warfare technologies to develop an advanced, open and future ready solution for this emerging requirement of our customers. We are very proud to have been selected by the Netherlands to supply this solution and further strengthen our long term partnership."
