ALPHA, a radar developed and produced by ELTA Systems, an IAI group and subsidiary, is a key component of the ship's weapon system and is able to perform a variety of missions simultaneously such as multiple target tracking and identification, and defense munitions guidance. It provides 360-degree defense against a wide variety of airborne platforms and munitions.

The new ALPHA radar is based on this radar.

     
The ALPHA radar will replace existing weapon systems: the Automatic Missile Detection Radar (AMDR) and the Dagon Surface Search radar.

The ALPHA radar, also known as the ELM- 2258, is a derivative of the Multi-Function Surveillance and Threat Alert Radar (MF-STAR), which is being produced under contract with the Israel Navy as well as for foreign navies.
Nissim Hadas, IAI Corporate VP & ELTA System president said:" ELTA has an excellent reputation producing naval radar systems for diverse applications. The fact that the Israel Navy chose ELTA's advanced ALPHA radar, demonstrates yet again, IAI's capabilities in supplying the Israel Defense Force with the very best solutions. This is one more evidence of ELTA's ongoing contribution to the security of the state of Israel."
