Israel’s battle tested communications equipment, considered the best in the world by many experts, will go on display in the U.S. at the annual electronics and communications exhibit of the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association next month under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Defense.
Elkana Caspi, director general of Tadiran, Israel’s largest manufacturer of electronics and communications equipment, announced yesterday that some 100 of his firm’s products comprising 30 sophisticated communications systems, would be on view in Washington between June 7-10. Tadiran will have the largest display of any foreign company participating in the exhibition, Caspi said. He claimed that his company will be the only one to display equipment already tested under combat conditions. He said Tadiran’s systems are 8-30 years ahead of any others in the field.
Caspi explained that Tadiran’s basic know-how was American. The company is owned jointly by General Telephone and Electronics and Koor Industries of Israel. It specializes in control command communications systems, either stationary or mobile, which are used on the surface or in aircraft. Tadiran has recently increased its sales to foreign countries and is seeking new markets overseas, Caspi said.
