The solution combines advanced intelligence-gathering technologies from multiple sensors and platforms to create a common operational picture, alongside lethal assets that can be rapidly and autonomously activated. During the demonstrations, IAI operationally proved shortened sensor-to-shooter loops, enabled by connectivity across company systems ranging from space-based assets to autonomous ground vehicles.
At the core of the system is a centralised mission capability that integrates intelligence collection with lethal systems to enable rapid threat detection and neutralisation. Artificial intelligence-based technologies process information and support seamless connectivity and communication across all components of the solution.
IAI President and CEO Boaz Levy said: “Israel’s topography and borders are among the most complex and challenging in the world.” He added: “This is the first system of its kind to be successfully demonstrated in Israel.”
The demonstrations integrated several key capabilities, including the ELM-2058 intelligence-gathering UAV, the APUS 60 VTOL UAV and the Blue Sky Warden light border protection aircraft developed in cooperation with L3Harris. A wide range of IAI electro-optical systems, radars, autonomous vehicles, drones and UAVs also took part, proving their effectiveness against diverse threats across the operational arena.
