As ADEX marks its 10th anniversary since the first exhibition in 1996, the South Korean government and companies in the aerospace and deence industry are trying to expand their export opportunities. Seoul is pitching its homegrown trainer jets, including the K-1 and the -50, as well as K-2 tanks and K-9 sel- propelled guns to global buyers. he nation’s arms exports touched about US$4 billion in 2014, the largest yearly amount since 2006 when the Deence Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) was established to oversee South Korean military procurement, export and deence industrial development. One of the major highlights at ADEX 2015 is the maiden appearance of the U.S. Air Combat Command F-22 Demonstration Team. This is only the second international appearance made by the Raptor display team in 2015. Report on page 23

Chie Executive Officer Zvi Alon
RADArsquos technology was recognised
through a competitive selection process as
the preerred solution or the operational
requirements o this national security project
ldquoWe recently expanded our solutions

conditions in day and night ECSAR
uses a lightweight X-band SAR payload
weighing only 100 kg developed by IAIrsquos
subsidiary Elta Systems
wo ECSAR class satellites have been
successully deployed so ar the first in
2008 and second in 2009 launched by an
Indian PSLV-CA rocket Te mission o
each satellite is expected to last 7-8 years in
inclined Low Earth Orbit
Lightweight SAR
Unlike other SAR satellites that weighseveral tons designed for globalcoverage and employed by worldsuperpowers - IAIrsquos TECSAR weighs lessthan 350 kg and is designed to deliverhigh quality tactical intelligence insupport operational forces covering aspecific theater of operation
ECSAR achieves the high agility
and high resolution required or tactical
surveillance by using multi-beam
electronic steered eeders that can
rapidly aim the SAR at dierent points
o interest on earth ensuring high
throughput or each revolution aroundearth High eiciency attitude control
enables the small satellite to point at any
location on earth revolution in relatively
short time
he combination o mechanical aiming
and electronic beam steering enables
ECSAR to combine high-resolution
imaging and large area coverage lexibly
using several modes o operation hese
include high-resolution Spot and Strip
modes Scan ndash where the satellite covers

IAI TECSAR ndash A Small SatelliteOffering Big Gains Israel is offering South Korea an
innovative Synthetic Aperture Radar
(SAR) based spy satellite already used by
Israel and oreign operators or all-weather
earth observation missions
Te satellite implements the technology
developed or IAIrsquos ECSAR a light weightobservation satellite offering tactical
surveillance capabilities under all-weather
conditions in day and night ECSAR
uses a lightweight X-band SAR payload
weighing only 100 kg developed by IAIrsquos
subsidiary Elta Systems
wo ECSAR class satellites have been
successully deployed so ar the first in
2008 and second in 2009 launched by an
Indian PSLV-CA rocket Te mission o
each satellite is expected to last 7-8 years in
inclined Low Earth Orbit
Lightweight SAR
Unlike other SAR satellites that weighseveral tons designed for globalcoverage and employed by worldsuperpowers - IAIrsquos TECSAR weighs lessthan 350 kg and is designed to deliverhigh quality tactical intelligence insupport operational forces covering aspecific theater of operation
ECSAR achieves the high agility
and high resolution required or tactical
surveillance by using multi-beam
electronic steered eeders that can
rapidly aim the SAR at dierent points
o interest on earth ensuring high
throughput or each revolution aroundearth High eiciency attitude control
enables the small satellite to point at any
location on earth revolution in relatively
short time
he combination o mechanical aiming
and electronic beam steering enables
ECSAR to combine high-resolution
imaging and large area coverage lexibly
using several modes o operation hese
include high-resolution Spot and Strip
modes Scan ndash where the satellite covers
a wide area using electronic beam
steering and Mosaic - covering large area
with high resolution using mechanical
