ELTA Systems, an Israel Aerospace Industries’ group and subsidiary (IAI/ELTA) and TAC Motors unveiled the Stark IRV (Inteligência, Reconhecimento e Vigilância) a new intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) vehicle, at the Latin American Aerospace and Defence Conference and Exhibition- LAAD 2011 at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

IAI/ELTA and TAC Motors are jointly manufacturing a day and night intelligence and surveillance system installed on a 4x4 off-road light tactical vehicle that can perform law enforcement missions in rough terrain and under all-weather conditions. The Stark IRV is designed to support activities against drug and weapon smuggling, illegal border crossing and more.

The Stark IRV sensor suite includes an advanced ground surveillance radar, a powerful day and night electro-optical system and a line-of-sight (LOS) or satellite communication (SATCOM) system. Operated by the vehicle’s crew, the ISR system detects, classifies, identifies and tracks targets in the area of interest under all-weather conditions. Real-time reports are communicated directly to law enforcement forces deployed in the area.
