These metal nets are designed to set off anti-tank charges dropped from above before they come into contact with the tank itself.
This interim solution is effective to a point, but more advanced protection systems are now being evaluated.
Elta, the electronic division of IAI, is offering a tailored solution for this problem: the ELI-3312 Huntereye.
This is a family of compact target acquisition sensors for target acquisition and cueing, designed to be installed on light to heavy Remote Weapon Stations (RWS) and Main Battle Tanks (MBT).
The ELI-3312 Huntereye system detects, classifies, and tracks fire sources and provides real-time situational awareness.
The system combines the capabilities of two main sensors into a single sensor system: a ground surveillance radar for immediate detection and identification, and an embedded Electro-Optical (EO) fire source sensor, installed on an integrated Remote Weapon Station (RWS). The system is modular and can be easily adapted to various weapon stations and guns.
