ELTA North America has completed deliveries of a multi-sensor counter-drone technology designed to help the departments of Defense and Homeland Security detect and address enemy small unmanned aircraft systems.
The company said Tuesday it has delivered and integrated five units of the OTM V4 counter-sUAS offering under a contract with the Irregular Warfare Technical Support Directorate within a DOD office.
ELTA North America has been delivering OTM V4 to IWTSD since December 2020 to meet the government’s Mobile C-sUAS Defense-in-Depth Capability requirement.
Users of the system may switch between soft and hard kill mitigation options to reduce collateral damage when dealing with enemy drones.
“We look forward to continuing small tactical team operational testing and evaluations in a variety of scenarios and environments in fiscal year 22,” said Mike Trexler, program manager for tactical offensive support at IWTSD.
ELTA North America works parallel to Smart Shooter and D-FEND Solutions for the directorate’s capability requirement in support of military forces and security agents.
