The deal has been signed following the successful completion of a series of tests that demonstrated the capabilities of the anti-aircraft air defence system in engaging a wide range of targets.

The contract has been awarded following an international tender, which involved IAI contending against several defence leaders.

IAI missiles and space group executive vice-president and general manager Boaz Levi said: “Our proposal and development was based on the future generation of very short-range air defence systems.

“The command and control system offers precise target data for the interceptors and manages threat and firing detection in an optimal manner based on the target type.”

“Sky Capture combines several aerial interception methodologies, reflecting the extensive capabilities of IAI’s air defence know-how. The system sold under this contract uses air defence cannons and is also designed, if needed, to manage short-range missiles and laser interception systems.”
