El Al Planes Due to Receive Anti-Missile System
***********************************************

Israel Aircraft Industries' (IAI) Flight Guard anti-missile system
for civilian airliners has passed the development stage and is
currently being installed on El Al passenger jets according to a
report by Globes.

El Al purchased the first systems from IAI subsidiary Elta Electronic
Industries in recent weeks according to the Globes report and the
system is expected to be installed on El Al's Boeing 767s within two
months. The Defense Ministry, which is paying for the purchase of the
new systems, has budgeted 6 million shekels for El Al's initial
purchase of the systems. The estimated cost of one system is several
hundred thousand dollars, which means that initially two systems will
probably be installed.

In recent years, the Elta defense system has been installed on 160
planes in 12 countries. Among other things, the system has been
installed on the Israeli Air Force's Blackhawk helicopters, cargo
planes around the globe, and private jets for heads of state.

The push for the installation of the system on civilian aircraft
intensified following Al Qaida's unsuccessful attempt to shoot down
an Arkia Airlines passenger plane taking off from the Mombassa
Airport in Kenya in November 2002. Following the attempt, Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon ordered the Ministry of Defense to adapt the
military defense system for passenger planes.

The scramble to neutralize the threat of shoulder launched
surface-to-air missiles may prove profitable for Israel's defense
industries. The first operational system is taking place only 18
months after development began and defense industry foresees great
potential for selling this product to defense systems in the global
civil aviation market.
