Elbit Systems executive vice president and general manager of the company's EW & Sigint Elisra unit Edgar Maimon said, "Demand for operationally proven electronic warfare systems is steadily strengthening because of increasing hostile activity in the electro-magnetic spectrum, making the threat to aircraft more acute. I believe that Elbit Systems is well positioned to provide a response to a growing need."
