RADA Electronic Industries is an Israeli defense electronics company specializing in advanced tactical radar systems for battlefield threat detection and counter-UAS applications.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
RADA Electronic Industries develops compact, high-performance AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) tactical radar systems used for short-range air defense, counter-UAS, counter-rocket/artillery/mortar (C-RAM), and force protection applications. The company's radar systems are deployed by the IDF and allied militaries worldwide.
Founded in 1970 and headquartered in Netanya, Israel, RADA has been a pioneer in miniaturized tactical radar technology. The company was acquired by Leonardo DRS in 2022, strengthening its integration into global defense programs. RADA's products include the RPS-42 multi-mission hemisphere radar and the eMHR (enhanced Multi-mission Hemispheric Radar) family.
Dual-use relevance is moderate: while primarily defense-focused, radar detection technology has applications in critical infrastructure protection, airport security, and border surveillance.
