ELTA NA's participation in the Joint Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft System Office (JCO) demo consisted of two integrated systems that were enhanced beyond the prior operational capability. Both the Modular Air Defense System Kit and the On-the-Move System were demonstrated, primarily highlighting the improved radar capabilities that provide autonomous Detect, Track, Identification and Classification prior to alerting an operator and recommending a defeat solution.

Reported by Sydney J. Freedberg Jr. in the Breaking Defense July 24, 2024 "Swarm Wars" article, COL Michael Parent, Chief of Acquisitions & Resources at the Army-led JCO stated, "Demo Five really was our most challenging JCO demonstration to date." COL Parent further stated that the systems attending this event all showed a "greater level of maturity" and offered "much better solutions" to the threat compared to those at previous demos. ELTA NA was one of 8 selected from a group of 60 applicants mature enough to handle this task. "This was an incredibly difficult field demonstration," said ELTA NA CEO Joe Adams. "There were up to 50 unmanned aircraft of different types converging on a single target at one time. Our radars are cutting edge, there's a reason why they were used by others in this JCO Demo." Mr. Adams also stated, "Although ELTA NA has the ability to provide a fully integrated solution, we believe it's important to work across industry as partners for effective layered solutions to counter this dynamic threat environment."
