Israel sets up new department to boost development of AI and autonomy
Israel will continue to develop autonomy for its weapons and platforms as it brings together defence personnel, academia and industry.
Elbit Systems has developed a new line of ground-based wide-area persistent surveillance systems called GroundEye.
Developed for security and law enforcement requirements, the GroundEye surveillance system gathers imagery intelligence to provide a complete intelligence picture to a large number of users in both real time and replay.
The system can zoom into multiple target areas of interest, and facilitate continuous reception of data and video coverage as well as high-quality image resolution in all areas of surveillance.
It is designed to provide ground force commanders important insights on events occurring simultaneously in different places, as well as the ability to acquire, record and investigate forensic data. It can also create virtually closed-off areas (safe zones) that generate a virtual fence around the perimeter of any secure area.
GroundEye comprises a panoramic mast-mounted/tripod mounted sensor head that houses the system’s cameras and front-end electronics, an advanced computer processing unit, high-speed image analysis applications and a simplified user control station that is interoperable with third party command and control centres. The line of systems can be operated as a standalone system or integrated into a wider command and control network.
According to the company, the system has been evaluated and tested by security teams in Israel and internationally.

Clavister CyberArmour, an integrated defence cybersecurity system, will be used on BAE Systems Hägglunds’ CV90 platform in deployments with a Scandinavian country, as well as in an eastern European nation.
The tactical satellite (TacSat) is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) system and will participate in exercises in 2025.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
