ELTA Systems

ELTA Systems is IAI's radar, electronic warfare, and electro-optical subsidiary — the structural anchor of IAI's radar capability across the Phalcon airborne early-warning systems, the multi-mission radar portfolio, the Green Pine system supporting Arrow, and adjacent sensor categories. ELTA is one of the largest specialized radar manufacturers globally.

ELTA Systems is IAI's radar, electronic warfare, and electro-optical subsidiary — operating as a structural specialist within the broader IAI corporate framework. The ELTA portfolio anchors IAI's position in the radar industrial category at multiple operational tiers: airborne early-warning (Phalcon), ground-based long-range surveillance (Green Pine, supporting the Arrow missile defense system), multi-mission radar (the EL/M-2080 family in multiple variants), and adjacent sensor categories.

The Phalcon airborne early-warning system anchors a substantial ELTA export business across India, Singapore, and adjacent international customers. Green Pine radar — the long-range early-warning sensor for the Arrow missile defense system — is one of the most operationally consequential radar capabilities in modern missile defense, with operational use across Arrow's interception architecture.

For Defense pillar coverage in The Olam, ELTA is structurally important as the IAI specialist subsidiary that anchors much of IAI's most-cited capability portfolio. The radar category itself was 8% of 2024 Israeli defense exports (per SIBAT data) — with ELTA as the principal Israeli industrial counterparty in the category alongside Elbit's adjacent radar portfolio.
