Both deals were signed with the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest contract is for four long-range radars as part of the Hughes Air Defence Radar Nachfolgesystem program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elta and Hensoldt previously cooperated on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/techwatch\/2020\/10\/21\/elta-systems-hensoldt-partner-on-system-to-consolidate-submarine-capabilities\/\" target=\"_blank\">submarine capabilities<\/a>, but this is the first time they have worked together on radars, said Amir Dan, Elta\u2019s naval radars marketing team lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He told Defense News that Elta\u2019s work with Hensoldt on the radars provides an opportunity for IAI to have a local partner and increases its chances of winning future European contracts. According to Elta, some of the workshare and capability to produce some radar elements will occur in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGermany is a key country for defense systems, and Israel can offer what we have and this opportunity of experience and knowledge into that arena of ballistic missile defense,\u201d Dan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elta is known for making the radar used with Israel\u2019s Iron Dome air defense system, and in 2019 the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2019\/12\/05\/czech-republic-inks-125m-contract-for-israeli-radar-system\/\" target=\"_blank\">sold $125 million worth of ELM-2084 radars<\/a> to the Czech Republic. The radar for Germany will be slightly larger, with a range going out hundreds of kilometers, however the company did not specify the precise range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany\u2019s place in the overall air defense picture across Europe and NATO countries is important, according to a joint statement from both companies. \u201cSince the threat to Europe from long-range weapons has existed for years, there is agreement among the European countries that a protective shield consisting of their own and NATO systems must be established or expanded,\u201d Elta noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior research at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.japcc.org\/sea-based-ballistic-missile-defence\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joint Air Power Competence Centre<\/a>, which is sponsored by 16 NATO members, has looked at both land-based radars for Germany and the role that its Navy could adopt for sea-based ballistic missile defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn relevant international panels and conferences, Germany has not only supported sensor development but also \u2014 at least in the long-term \u2014 encouraged building-up a maritime European BMD capability,\u201d Elta said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hensoldt said the Hughes Air Defence Radar Nachfolgesystem system operates in the S-band, allowing for more precise target acquisition compared to other systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany and Israel have a close defense relationship, with the former\u2019s ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2020\/11\/05\/israel-shifts-naval-doctrine-with-new-saar-6-warships\/\" target=\"_blank\">supplying new Sa\u2019ar 6 corvettes<\/a> to the latter. Additionally, Israeli firm Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has worked with Germany on a \u201cglass battlefield\u201d project, and the company has sold its Trophy active protection system to equip German tanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest contract is for four long-range radars as part of the Hughes Air Defence Radar Nachfolgesystem program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":51616,"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":["industry","battlefield-tech","home","daily-brief","newsletters"],"primary_category":"industry"}}},"categories":[160,46,11,12,47,36],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3452],"class_list":["post-61571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-europe","category-global","category-industry","category-mideast-africa","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"TUXG5CBUGZHJBIIHIMTH3IUVAY","arc_canonical_url":"\/industry\/2021\/07\/29\/elta-and-hensoldt-team-up-for-german-ballistic-missile-defense-radar\/","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>IAI and Hensoldt team up for German ballistic missile defense radar - Defense News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The latest contract is for four long-range radars as part of the Hughes Air Defence Radar Nachfolgesystem program.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/industry\/2021\/07\/29\/elta-and-hensoldt-team-up-for-german-ballistic-missile-defense-radar\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"IAI and Hensoldt team up for German ballistic missile defense radar\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The latest contract is for four long-range radars as part of the Hughes Air Defence Radar Nachfolgesystem program.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/industry\/2021\/07\/29\/elta-and-hensoldt-team-up-for-german-ballistic-missile-defense-radar\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defense News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-07-29T14:02:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T00:34:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Seth J.
