Rafael’s latest Litening targeting pod, equipped with a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), reportedly played a significant role during the recent U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran. According to Israeli sources, the upgraded Litening SAR combines the pod’s well-established electro-optical capabilities with a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), significantly expanding its ability to detect and engage targets under challenging battlefield conditions. Seeing Through CloudsThe addition of a high-performance SAR sensor enables fighter aircraft to identify and track targets regardless of weather or visibility. This capability enables aircraft to locate and identify targets even when optical sensors are unable to provide a clear picture.
