Elbit Systems Acquires Rokar from BAE

Elbit Systems has acquired Rokar International from BAE Systems for approximately $31 million net of any cash in Rokar.

Located in Jerusalem, Rokar specializes in the development, manufacture, integration, and support of high-end GPS receivers and guidance systems for advanced defense applications.

Systems are designed for standalone use in a full navigation system, or as GPS boards to be embedded in an inertial system.

The SNIR (Satellite Navigation Immune Receiver) product family is designed to overcome emerging GPS jammer threats. SNIR integrates advanced anti-jam technologies to suppress various interferences in multiple-jammer environments.

Such systems are installed on air, land, and naval platforms and used for a wide range of munitions. They can be integrated as anti-jamming receivers or added to legacy GPS receivers.

An extensive range of gun-hard GPS receivers can be integrated with mortar and artillery shells and rockets, providing an accurate first-round fire capability. Projectiles and rockets can be upgraded with GPS-based, low-cost navigation and guidance systems.

Extremely accurate GPS receivers with dual redundancy are operational in orbit in various types of satellites.

With a proven track record in space systems, Rokar offers services in development, manufacture and qualification of radiation-tolerant systems.

Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, Elbit Systems President & CEO, said, “There is increasing demand for our networked precision fire solutions. Rokar’s technologies are integrated in our solutions and the acquisition will further enhance our capabilities in this growing area of activity.”
