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.
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., developer and manufacturer of leading air, sea, and land defense solutions, will unveil the Imilite, a new, multi-sensor, multi-platform intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) Exploitation System. The unveiling will be made at the Land Warfare Conference (LWC) in Australia in mid-November.
ImiLite is a cost-effective intelligence system designed to receive process and exploit multiple standalone imagery video and other intelligence data in a centralized and a unified way.
Main system capability includes the reception, processing and exploitation of EO, IR, SAR/GMTI and VIDEO, in various formats, over one desktop. In order to enhance the exploitation process, ImiLite further combines non-imagery data such as targets, threats, COMINT detection and mission status within the system workflow. ImiLite generates a variety of standard and customer tailored ISR reports and IMINT products such as alphanumeric reports, annotated maps, GIS data layers and visual aids, and disseminates them to external information and operation systems over standard and tailored protocols.
ImiLite's multi-source data integration and automation capabilities improve the efficiency of utilizing available collection and exploitation assets. The system GIS capabilities provide immediate accessibility to relevant imagery and intelligence data, thus shortening the ISR collection and exploitation cycle.
The ImiLite is based on Rafael's combat-proven ISR and C4I systems already in service worldwide. ImiLite is designed for use by Defense forces (air, ground) and police forces exercising various observation means for border patrol or coping with urban crime.
Haim Jacobovitz, Corporate VP and General Manager of Network-Centric Warfare Sector at Rafael: "ImiLite's advanced ISR exploitation capabilities provide defense and police forces a leading edge in dealing with today's intelligence collection and processing demands. ImiLite joins Rafael's battle-proven C4ISR solutions to complement its vast variety of other advanced defense systems in use by dozens of customers around the world."

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.
