According to the company, the Red Sky VSHORAD features the Redrone, which is an electronic warfare (EW) solution intended for detecting, identifying, locating and neutralizing unmanned aerial systems.

Further, Elbit’s Redrone also features DAiR Radar, signal intelligence (SIGINT) sensors, RF jammer, anti-aircraft missile launchers and COAPS-L electro-optical (EO) payload.

The new system can reportedly detect, disrupt and neutralize unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), can offer a real-time aerial situation picture and can prevent drones from infiltrating sensitive locations.

Additionally, the radar system can detect multiple targets at once, keeping track of different objects while simultaneously scanning for more airborne UAVs. Meanwhile, the system also features a jammer capable of disabling UAVs in its range.
