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.
Elisra, had announced the success of a joint US-Israeli exercise which was carried out recently in its Active Defense Battle Lab, jointly shared by the Israeli Air Force (IAF), the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD) and the US Department of Defense (DOD).
The Active Defense Battle Lab is developed and maintained by Elisra’s Tadiran Electronics Systems Division since its inception in the early 90's, under contract with the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD) and the US Missile Defense Agency (MDA). An end-to-end simulator of Theater Missile Defense, the Lab simulates attacks against defended assets, and the operation of defense systems against those attacks.
The computerized exercise was wide in scope, including operational forces and combat fighters and simulated a ballistic missile attack on Israel and the use of Israeli and US Missile Defense Systems.
A large group of US and Israeli officers from the various operational units participated in the exercise. In addition, a large number of high ranking officers and senior officials from both countries attended the exercise and evaluated the overall operational architecture of the IAF's Active Defense Array, which was set to function in conjunction with the US systems that are deployed in Israel.
The preparation and execution of the exercise earned high praise from all participants. Participants and observers of the exercise consider the Active Defense Battle Lab developed by Elisra to be the most advanced battle lab in the world for simulating Active Defense against ballistic missiles.
The Lab is also used to develop the doctrine, coordination and concept of operation between the joint forces and to help engineers to build the Active Missile Defense Systems Architecture.

Israel will continue to develop autonomy for its weapons and platforms as it brings together defence personnel, academia and industry.
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.
