The radar purchased -- price also undisclosed -- will be delivered before the end of year.

"We are very pleased with the growing interest in our radars by the US market, which we believe will be one of the most important markets for our radar technology," said Zvi Alon, RADA's chief executive officer.

The company's Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radar is an S-band, software-defined, Pulse-Doppler, active electronically scanned array radar. It features beam-forming capabilities, advanced signal processing and provides multiple mission capabilities on each radar platform.

RADA said the radar is suitable to help counter rockets and mortars, unmanned aerial systems and moving ground targets.
