Elta Systems ELM-2084 multimission radars (MMR) have successfully completed military trials with the Army of the Czech Republic under the 3D mobile air defence radars (MADR) project, the army announced on 21 April.
In December 2019, a contract was signed with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) subsidiary Elta Systems for eight ELM-2084 MMRs for CZK 3.5 billion (USD164.7 million).
The radars will be delivered to the 26th Command, Control, and Reconnaissance Regiment from May 2023 onwards, five systems will be deployed at stationary military sites for the NATO Integrated Air and Missile Defence System (NATINAMDS), while the remaining three will be deployed to protect important sites, strategic targets, and support the Czech Republic’s national air defence reinforcement system (NaPoSy PVO ČR ), the announcement said.
The radars will enter service with the Czech army by the end of 2023.
