The program includes Czech businesses, whose work will make up for about 30 percent of the contract\u2019s value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retired Brig. Gen. Yair Kulas, who currently works for the Israeli government\u2019s International Defense Cooperation Directorate, said the agreement was monumental for Israel, likening it to a Czech arms deal that helped Israel achieve independence more than 70 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"622\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-96741808-Cropped.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-96741808-Cropped.jpg.jpg 622w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-96741808-Cropped.jpg.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-96741808-Cropped.jpg.jpg?resize=300,300 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The EL\/M-2084 multimission radar is advertised as a high-accuracy medium-\/long-range transportable radar system that can detect a bank of targets, including UAVs. (Israel Aerospace Industries via Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis agreement will deepen and strengthen the cooperation and relations with our Czech partners,\u201d Kulas said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yoav Tourgeman, IAI executive vice president and the CEO of Elta, said the deal has been in the works for more than six years, adding that Israel had to overcome competition to get to this point. After initial checks and tests, the deal went forward, the executive added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the deal, the radar will be adapted to operate with Czech and NATO command-and-control technology as they are delivered through 2023. The multimission radar is expected to radically improve the Czech Republic\u2019s existing systems, and it will serve as an opportunity for Israel to showcase its radar technology in another NATO country. The Czech Republic joined NATO in 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tourgeman said in a call from Prague that the deal will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2019\/11\/27\/israeli-industry-foresees-growth-in-europe-if-it-can-face-off-against-foreign-defense-giants\/\" target=_blank>open more doors for Israeli industry<\/a> to sell its surveillance and air defense capabilities in Europe. \u201cAll radar must be modernized to engage and detect and enable engagement of current and future threats,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Czech Republic has been involved in negotiations over the last decade regarding missile defense, after a 2008 deal for the U.S. to position American radars to address ballistic missile threats there failed to materialize. The Czech government said in 2014 it was seeking to acquire mobile air defense radar. After passing over several competitors, it settled on the Israeli system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Israel has worked to strengthen relations with countries in eastern Europe, particularly those in the Visegrad Group \u2014 the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ELM-2084 multimission radars have been used for Israel\u2019s Iron Dome air defense system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":58962,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":12,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"9":{"categories":["battlefield-tech","home","industry","daily-brief","newsletters"],"primary_category":"battlefield-tech"}}},"categories":[160,46,11,12,36],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3452],"class_list":["post-29629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-europe","category-global","category-industry","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"2UAQ5FOVNFDXZIS2BVBHLBSJJU","arc_canonical_url":"\/industry\/2019\/12\/05\/czech-republic-inks-125m-contract-for-israeli-radar-system\/","remove_feature_photo":true,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Czech Republic inks $125M contract for Israeli radar system - Defense News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"ELM-2084 multimission radars have been used for Israel\u2019s Iron Dome air defense system.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Czech Republic inks $125M contract for Israeli radar system\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"ELM-2084 multimission radars have been used for Israel\u2019s Iron Dome air defense system.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/industry\/2019\/12\/05\/czech-republic-inks-125m-contract-for-israeli-radar-system\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defense News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-12-05T18:54:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-07T22:27:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Seth J.
