The IAI‑ELTA ELM‑2084 Multi‑Mission Radar is one of the most widely fielded radar systems developed by Israel Aerospace Industries and its ELTA Systems subsidiary. This ground‑based active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar is designed to provide layered air defense, target tracking, and weapons control support in modern battlefield environments. It has become a core sensor for integrated air defense deployments around the world.

The ELM‑2084 originates from Israel, built by IAI and ELTA, and serves air forces and ground defense units. It combines wide‑area surveillance with precise target tracking and fire‑control coordination for interceptor missiles or counter‑rocket systems. It is suitable for detecting aircraft, ballistic threats, and indirect fire projectiles, then relaying information into air defense command networks.

Capabilities

At its core, the radar uses 3D AESA technology to scan the airspace in real time, with powerful signal processing to handle simultaneous threats. It supports long‑range detection and tracking of aircraft and incoming weapons and provides targeting information for missile systems like Iron Dome and David’s Sling. More than 250 units have been delivered globally with proven operational use.

ELM‑2084’s radar arrays can rotate or sector scan depending on mission needs. The system handles high track loads and supports weapon location, artillery fire control, and ballistic‑trajectory estimation. Its ECCM features help maintain performance under electronic attack.

IAI-ELTA ELM‑2084 Price

The U.S pricing for the IAI‑ELTA ELM‑2084 Multi‑Mission Radar varies by contract scope, integration needs, and configuration, typically negotiated through defense procurement channels with unit price estimates classified or dependent on United States foreign military sales agreements.
