SAR Synthetic Family TECSAR
SAR Pod for fighters
ELTA's family of high performance Ground Surveillance and Reconnaissance Radar Targeting Pod on fighters
SAR/GMTI systems includes the following members:

ELM-2060P: A Pod-mounted SAR/GMTI System installed on fighter aircraft.
ELM-2060T: A SAR/GMTI System installed on Business Jets or transport aircraft.
ELM-2055/2054: A lightweight SAR/GMTI System installed on UAVs, helicopters
or lightweight aircraft.
ELM-20600: Fighter Aircraft Radar Targeting Pod (RTP)
TECSAR: A lightweight Satellite SAR Payload.
The systems produce high resolution radar images which approach photographic
quality and operate as true all-weather, day and night sensors capable of penetrating
clouds, rain, smoke, smog, fog and a variety of man-made camouflage .The images
produced onboard are transmitted via a built-in data link to a Ground Exploitation
Station (GES) or to an Airborne Exploitation Station (AES) for interpretation and
extraction of valuable Image Intelligence (IMINT) data, and may presented to the
operators or air-crew for quick Sensor-to-Shooter cycle.

Typical Imaging Modes of Operation Lightweight SAR/GMTI Aircraft
STRIP Mode allows for quick coverage of large areas at stand-off ranges, while SAR/GMTI UAV
mapping details sufficient for target detection and overall assessment of an entire
region. This mode enables detailed examination of a designated area of interest and
allows high resolution sub-modes for target classification. In order to focus on an area
of interest the systems can operates in a dedicated SPOT Mode. Additionally, a
MOSAIC Mode is available which can combine images of Spot Modes to achieve
large images with high resolutions. In the Moving Target Indication (GMTI) modes the
system can overlay ground moving targets on top of the SAR Image Strip (SAR/GMTI
Mode)
Ground and Aerial Imagery Exploitation Stations The Ground and Aerial Imagery
Exploitation Stations employ COTS equipment with advanced data processing and
user-friendly Man-Machine Interface to provide computer-aided tools for mission
planning and management, data exploitation and intelligence reporting.
The stations enable mission planning, mission manage ment and in-flight retasking.

Typical configurations include: SAR/GMTI on Business Jet
Airborne Exploitation Station (AES) : includes 1 or 2 operator consoles.
Ground Exploitation Station (GES) in a fixed facility: up to 10 operators
Mobile GES: large (S-280 or similar) shelter: typically includes 5 operators
Tactical GES: small shelter, includes 1 or 2 operators
