IAI unveils "TERRA"


Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. unveiled a new dual-band strategic defense radar that autonomously searches for, detects and tracks long-range ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and even satellites.
Dubbed Terra, the system mates IAI's Ultra radar — a very powerful and long-range UHF-band search radar presented at last summer’s Paris Air Show — with a new S-Band active electronic scanned array (AESA) fire-control radar called Spectra. 
Designed to search, detect, track and target multiple threats simultaneously, the new Terra system is operational with at least one customer nation.
In a Nov. 10 interview, the Elta executive said inherent capabilities as well as redundancies designed into the integrated, dual-band Terra system offer unique advantages over single-band radars.
“It’s hard to gain very long-range early warning with very accurate tracking in a single band. This combined system provides the range, accuracy and multi-target tracking capability into a single system. And due to redundancies, if something disturbs one radar for whatever reason, the system can rely on the other radar to continue the work.”
He noted that the system provides full 360-degree coverage, with antennas automatically rotating to track targets.The firm is offering the S-Band AESA part of the dual-band Terra system — called Ultra — in ground-based or sea-based configurations.
