Elta, a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries, said the product will address the need to combine operational possibilities on one mast while maintaining the submarine\u2019s stealth capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe collaboration is part of Elta\u2019s new strategy, leveraging our advanced technological experience and know-how accumulated over decades of defense operations. This collaboration will bring value to our customers by offering a unique, cost-effective, compact and high-utility solution,\u201d Elta CEO Yoav Tourgeman said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ICS system combines optics, radar warning, and monitoring of GPS and communications with other vessels and units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"525\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ICS.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ICS.jpg.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ICS.jpg.jpg?resize=300,82 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ICS.jpg.jpg?resize=768,210 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ICS.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,280 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ICS.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,420 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A graphic shows the Integrated Communication and Surveillance system developed by Elta Systems and Hensoldt.

It is equipped with a SATCOM and Laser system for secure communications,\u201d according to an Elta statement. The system is being rolled out as part of the European maritime trade show Euronaval, which is being held virtually this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brent Sadler, a senior fellow for naval warfare and advanced technology at the Heritage Foundation think tank, said submarine forces are likely to grow in the coming years, which means &#8220;the market for periscopes is growing faster than in the recent past.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A submarine\u2019s periscope, along with other masts for communications, radar, SATCOM and optics, tend to festoon submarines, creating a small forest atop the vessel\u2019s sail or conning tower. A submarine officer for 26 years, Sadler noted that \u201cif you have less sticks sticking out of water, it\u2019s less likely you\u2019ll be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/opinion\/commentary\/2020\/04\/13\/us-navy-should-turn-to-unmanned-systems-to-track-and-destroy-submarines\/\" target=_blank>detected<\/a>, so having fewer masts cuts down on cross-section of radar and optical [protrusion].&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo the trend is to reduce the number of masts you stick out of the water,\u201d he added, &#8220;so if you have a periscope and need to do radio communications or listen for hostile radar, better to have that on one mast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to two sources involved with developing the ICS system at Elta, the new integration seeks to provide submariners with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2019\/12\/06\/heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-us-navys-deadly-and-expensive-new-attack-submarines\/\" target=_blank>additional capabilities that complement a naval task force<\/a>. The demand for submarines is increasing, and as they performing less missions strictly alone, the subsurface boats need more sensors and communications tools to work with other vessels as well as airborne and ground assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadler points out that one of the challenges here is not only miniaturizing add-on payloads but also cooling the thermals because these additions and sensors add heat that can be detected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The traditional dilemma for submariners is performing missions successfully while reamining stealthy, according to Elta naval systems expert and retired Israeli Navy commander Shlomi Dor. \u201cYou need a communication mast, and adding an ISR capability with SATCOM on the same periscope \u2014 it\u2019s the only mast that keeps safety for submarine[s] \u2026 and communicate[s] to task force and headquarters, whoever you need to be in touch with. This mast is a very robust solution that I think will contribute a lot for mission\u2019s sake all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The integration of the ICS system on the mast can be done in a refit without changes to existing submarine infrastructure, according to Elta. Michael Sela of Elta told Defense News that the system builds on mature and field-proven sensors, and uses the company\u2019s expertise in phased array SATCOM antennas and other technology. It is expected to be operational in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developments in periscope design, among other technological trends, will impact submarine designs, perhaps making them smaller with taller periscopes, Sadler said. An uptick in submarine purchases means increasing economies of scale that lead to the research and development behind new designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Sadler raised concerns about Elta\u2019s parent company, IAI, cooperating with China on civil aviation projects. The West, in particular the United States, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/nato-2020-defined\/2019\/12\/03\/nato-struggles-with-its-china-conundrum\/\" target=_blank>raised the alarm<\/a> over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/opinion\/commentary\/2020\/05\/22\/the-us-needs-to-rethink-its-overseas-supply-chain\/\" target=_blank>China\u2019s involvement<\/a> in the defense industrial base. That is also true for potential customers in Asia and Europe, where partnerships with China are being questioned more, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe capability has a niche and fills market demand, [but] make sure that the China connection [is] addressed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ICS system combines optics, radar warning, and monitoring of GPS and communications with other vessels and units.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":66205,"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":49,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"9":{"categories":["industry","c2-comms","battlefield-tech","daily-brief","newsletters","home"],"primary_category":"industry"}}},"categories":[160,12,49,16,36,112,30],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3452],"class_list":["post-29809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-industry","category-techwatch","category-naval","category-newsletters","category-euronaval-smr","category-smr"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"YD25RPXMHRGG7HU4GDXH256RHM","arc_canonical_url":"\/industry\/techwatch\/2020\/10\/21\/elta-systems-hensoldt-partner-on-system-to-consolidate-submarine-capabilities\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"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>Elta Systems, Hensoldt partner on system to consolidate submarine capabilities - Defense News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The ICS system combines optics, radar warning, and monitoring of GPS and communications with other vessels and units.\" \/>\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=\"Elta Systems, Hensoldt partner on system to consolidate submarine capabilities\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The ICS system combines optics, radar warning, and monitoring of GPS and communications with other vessels and units.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/industry\/techwatch\/2020\/10\/21\/elta-systems-hensoldt-partner-on-system-to-consolidate-submarine-capabilities\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defense News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-10-21T20:23:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-07T22:29:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Seth J.
