The EL/M-2258 ALPHA ("Advanced Lightweight Phased Array") is a multi-function active electronically scanned array naval radar system. It was developed by IAI Elta, for maritime installation on medium-sized combat ships such as corvettes, frigates and larger vessels. It is capable of tracking both air and surface targets, providing fire control and splash spotting guidance with target classification. ALPHA is an acronym of Advanced Lightweight Phased Array Naval Radars.
