Company Overview

Elisra Group develops and manufactures advanced electronic warfare (EW) systems, missile warning systems, radar and IR jamming devices, and laser detection equipment. Headquartered in Holon, Israel, Elisra is a wholly owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems following the full acquisition of IAI's 30% stake.

Founded from American Electronics Laboratories (AEL Industries) roots in 1967, Elisra is composed of three companies: Elisra Electronic Systems, Tadiran Electronic Systems, and Tadiran Spectralink. The group supplies missile warning systems, active jammer systems, laser and IR detection systems for aircraft and ground vehicles of the Israel Defense Forces. Tadiran Electronic Systems notably manufactured the Tadiran Mastiff reconnaissance UAV used by the IDF during the 1982 Lebanon War.

Elisra's EW and self-protection systems are deployed on a wide range of military platforms including fighter aircraft, helicopters, transport aircraft, and armored vehicles.
