[Jerusalem Post] Yaakov Katz - The IDF is preparing to integrate a new radar system that will help locate and destroy rocket launchers more quickly than ever before, Chief Artillery Officer Brig.-Gen. Michel Ben-Baruch said Monday. Produced by Elta Systems - a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries - the new radar will be able to provide artillery cannons with a 360-degree view of a battlefield and detect the exact location of rocket launchers. "There is no radar like this in the world," Ben-Baruch said. "It can pinpoint the location of the launch and then find the range the cannons will need to aim at to fire."
