CHINA-ISRAEL: DEFENCE COLLABORATION

 NAV Technology Company,  a Beijing-based People's Liberation Army (PLA)-accredited, publicly traded firm is marketing an advanced airborne fire-control radar believed to be from Elta Systems, an Israeli state-owned subsidiary. According to a product catalogue by NAV Technology Company and distributed at Airshow China in Zhuhai last November, its active electronic scanned array (AESA) radar "incorporates Elta's decades of field-proven experience with real operational feedback from Israel Air Force combat pilots."



(Comment: Elta, a subsidiary of state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), had a deal with Beijing for manufacture of the Phalcon aerial warning and control radar, which was terminated in mid-2000 due to fierce opposition from executive and legislative branches of the US government.)
