Erisel Electronics Secures 5.9 Million NIS Order from US Air Force
Erisel Electronics secured a 5.9 million NIS order from the US Air Force to supply temperature controllers for T-38 trainer aircraft engines by the end of 2026.
Erisel Electronics, a developer and manufacturer of advanced electronic and computing systems based on artificial intelligence and machine learning for civilian and military applications, announced it has received an order worth approximately 5.9 million NIS (about 1.9 million USD).
Supplying Temperature Controllers for the US Air Force
Under the order, the company will supply temperature controllers of its own manufacture for J85 engines, which are installed in nearly 1,000 engines across about 550 T-38 trainer aircraft of the US Air Force. According to the company, the order is expected to be delivered in full by the end of 2026.
Erisel's operations with the US Air Force are based on its status as a sole supplier for the system. In the early 2000s, the US Air Force licensed the digital temperature controller for the J85 engine offered by the company. The controller features dual-channel control redundancy, alongside engine health monitoring capabilities and anomaly detection.
Expanding Advanced Aviation Technologies
To date, the company has supplied close to 1,000 systems under multiple orders from the US Air Force. Furthermore, at the request of the US Air Force, the company upgraded the engine's exhaust nozzle control algorithm—an action typically reserved for the original engine manufacturer, which the company says reflects the level of trust in its technological capabilities.
"The current order from the US Air Force is another expression of Erisel's ability to develop advanced technologies and integrate them into some of the most complex and sensitive aviation and defense systems in the world," stated Ofer Elikim, CEO of Erisel. "Our way forward relies on continued investment in innovation, precision, and reliability, alongside the expansion of the applications of the technologies we have developed for advanced aircraft and systems."
