ELTA North America Secures U.S. Defense Contract for Next-Gen Multi-Mission Sensor Suite

ELTA North America has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of Defense to evaluate its state-of-the-art Multi-Mission/Multi-Sensor Suite (M3S2). This cutting-edge system is designed to revolutionize battlefield protection by integrating multiple defensive capabilities into a single, compact platform.

Advanced Protection for Modern Warfare

The M3S2 sensor suite enhances combat vehicle defense by combining Active Protection Systems (APS), Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS), and ground surveillance into one seamless unit. This integration significantly improves situational awareness, allowing military forces to detect and neutralize threats more effectively.

Unlike traditional systems that rely on separate radar and electro-optical technologies, M3S2 merges them into a low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) configuration. This makes it highly efficient and adaptable for a wide range of combat vehicles and critical infrastructure, ensuring enhanced protection without adding excessive bulk or power demands.

360-Degree Threat Detection

Joe Adams, CEO of ELTA North America, emphasized the importance of M3S2 in modern warfare, stating:
"As modern threats evolve, so must our defensive solutions. The M3S2 provides 360-degree tactical vehicle protection, seamlessly combining advanced sensors to counter a wide range of threats."

With its ability to detect and respond to aerial and ground-based threats in real time, M3S2 will play a crucial role in strengthening U.S. military operations.

Enhancing Military Readiness

This contract highlights the U.S. Department of Defense’s commitment to next-generation technology aimed at improving battlefield survivability, operational efficiency, and personnel protection. The M3S2 system is expected to address emerging threats and bolster the defense capabilities of combat forces, ensuring greater resilience in high-risk environments.

By integrating cutting-edge sensor technology into a unified platform, ELTA North America’s M3S2 represents a significant step forward in modern military defense systems. Its deployment could redefine the future of vehicle protection and battlefield awareness for U.S. forces.
