9 July 2019: Lockheed Martin and ELTA Systems have successfully completed a demonstration of their radar solution for the US Army's Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS). The demonstration took place during a Sense Off event at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.
The ELTA radar used for the event was ELM-2084 Multi-Mission Radar (MMR). The MMR's air defence capabilities are useful to its customers around the world as well as being the radar of "Iron Dome", "David's Sling" and IAI's land-based "Barak" weapon systems. The US Army is actively acquiring the Iron Dome system that includes the ELTA's MMR system.
Lockheed Martin and ELTA team completed a series of air and missile defence exercises during the two-week demonstration period. They showcased the radar solution and how it will meet the Army's necessities for the LTAMDS system while offering additional deployment strategies for the air and missile defence mission.
