Single Aircraft Replaces Dedicated Electronic Warfare and Intelligence Platforms
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has unveiled Ellyon, a new-generation mission aircraft that integrates electronic warfare with intelligence gathering. The platform combines electronic attack and ISTAR capabilities within a single modified business jet, offering air forces a means to replace multiple specialized platforms with one. According to IAI, Ellyon can jam enemy radar and communications systems simultaneously from a stand-off distance, and is designed for integration with multiple large business jet platforms.
