The Red Sky is an air defense system designed for low-altitude threats developed by Elbit Systems of Israel, still in development though parts of it are currently in use by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).[1] In 2024 Elbit announced a roughly $50M contract from an unnamed international customer for two Red Sky batteries.[2]
