Israel’s integrated defence architecture has been put to the test in an integrated ground test carried out by the Israeli Missile Defense Organization (IMDO) in conjunction with the US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and the US European Command (EUCOM).
The test was carried out in June by Elbit Systems subsidiary Elisra to validate the US/Israeli integrated architecture.
The test saw the Israeli Arrow Weapons System use Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 interceptors, and the David's Sling Weapon System interoperate with US assets consisting of command and control elements, Aegis ships, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) and Patriot missile defence systems. The David's Sling missile defence system participated in the drill as part of its transition to becoming operational.
Scenarios consisting of multiple missile and rocket attacks were simulated against Israel during the testing, with both US and Israel successfully employing, engaging and destroying the simulated incoming threats.
Airbus was awarded the Composante Spatiale Optique (CSO) contract at the end of 2010. This included an option for a third satellite, which was activated after Germany joined the programme in 2015.
In today’s contested operational environment, adaptability is key. The new Geospatial-Intelligence as a Service (GEO IaaS) solution from Fujitsu and MAIAR empowers militaries by enabling intelligence advantage, combining advanced technology with human expertise to deliver actionable insights.
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.
