Elbit Systems Ltd., a renowned global defense technology company, has recently secured a contract worth approximately $55 million to provide advanced ReDrone Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) to the Netherlands. The four-year contract aims to bolster the country’s counter-drone capabilities. Under this agreement, Elbit Systems will deliver a range of ReDrone integrated Counter-UAS solutions, including mobile, stationary, and deployed configurations. The package will also encompass logistics support and training services, ensuring effective operation and utilization of the system.

The ReDrone Solution, a state-of-the-art C-UAS technology, integrates Elbit Systems’ cutting-edge DAiR Radar, signal intelligence (SIGINT) sensors, and COAPS-L electro-optical (EO) payload. This amalgamation creates a comprehensive and highly capable counter-drone solution, further enhanced by its unified Command and Control system.

Oren Sabag, General Manager, Elbit Systems ISTAR & EW said, “The growing threat of drones creates an increasing demand for our Counter UAS solutions. We have leveraged our technology of advanced radar, signal intelligence, electro optic and electronic warfare technologies to develop an advanced, open and future ready solution for this emerging requirement of our customers. We are very proud to have been selected by the Netherlands to supply this solution and further strengthen our long term partnership.”

The ReDrone system is designed to offer advanced capabilities beyond typical active and passive sensors. It can swiftly detect and locate multiple drones simultaneously within the protected airspace.
