ANNAPOLIS JUNCTION, Md., June 16, 2025 -- ELTA North America Expands Life-Saving Defense Capabilities with Acquisition of Chemring Sensors and Electronic Systems' Explosive Hazard Detection Business.
ELTA North America (ENA), a U.S.-based defense industry leader specializing in advanced Air and Ground-Based Radar Systems, Airborne Electronic Warfare, and Integrated Counter-UAS solutions, proudly announces the acquisition of Chemring Sensors and Electronic Systems' (CSES) Explosive Hazard Detection line of business. This strategic acquisition reinforces ENA's commitment to providing cutting-edge technologies that protect warfighters and enhance operational mobility.
CSES has long been recognized as a global pioneer in explosive device detection, particularly in the development of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems designed to locate buried Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and mines. The Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS) and the MDS-10 handheld mine detector—key components of this expertise—will now integrate into ENA's portfolio, further strengthening the company's combat engineering and mobility solutions.
In response to evolving battlefield demands, ELTA North America is establishing a Combat Engineering Center of Excellence, dedicated to advancing life-saving technologies for U.S. and allied forces. Recent global conflicts have underscored the critical need for superior route and area clearance capabilities to ensure operational mobility. The integration of CSES's groundbreaking technologies positions ENA at the forefront of this essential mission.
The HMDS GPR system has been instrumental in saving thousands of lives throughout its operational history and remains the U.S. Army's Program of Record for Counter-IED (C-IED) route clearance. With this acquisition, ENA reinforces its ability to provide mission-critical solutions while operating under a U.S. Facility Clearance, ensuring seamless collaboration with defense entities.
"We are proud to take on this vital program of record for the U.S. Army as we further expand our footprint in the U.S. defense sector," said Joe Adams, President and CEO of ELTA North America. "ELTA North America remains committed to preserving CSES's legacy of innovation and life-saving technology. This acquisition strengthens our combat engineering capabilities and enhances our ability to support mission success in both combat operations and disaster response efforts."
