IAI successfully completed a series of demonstrations for providing a systemic and innovative solution for the defense of the country's borders

The demonstrations for the defense system and the political echelon, which ended successfully, included new systems and technologies that proved their capabilities according to operational needs

IAI is the first defense company to present a comprehensive solution for the defense of the country's borders to the defense echelon

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has successfully completed a series of demonstrations of an innovative systemic solution for the defense of the State of Israel's borders. The response was developed and created according to the needs of the Israeli defense system and is intended to provide a response in routine and emergency situations for all the country's borders, providing lethal and effective response capabilities to various threats on land, in the air, and at sea.

The systemic solution relies on advanced technologies for intelligence gathering from a variety of means, sensors, and platforms that provide a unified intelligence picture, alongside the presence of lethal means available in the border area and their independent and rapid activation. The shortening of response and action times, from threat exposure to its neutralization, has been operationally proven from the intelligence collection and processing stage to lethality and closing the loops, all connected among all company systems, from space to the autonomous ground vehicle in the field.

The intelligence and strike capabilities were managed by the central mission system, which processes the information and performs connectivity and communication between all systems in real time, using advanced technologies based on artificial intelligence until closing the loop.

Among the new developments that took part in the demonstration is a border defense solution centered on the ability to operate in the combat arena, with the human factor overseeing the autonomous capabilities remotely. The border defense solution represents a breakthrough in the development and integration of operational capabilities of autonomous aerial and land systems for diverse battlefield missions. The solution combines new combat methods based on various types of autonomous tools operating in mission synchronization under a central management system, with a small number of operators.

Additional new capabilities integrated in the demonstrations:
An intelligence-gathering drone (ELM-2058) that performs tracking in all weather and visibility conditions, using a SAR radar miniaturized with advanced technology.
APUS 60, a vertical takeoff and landing drone, with intelligence gathering and reconnaissance capabilities, equipped with a weapon mount used for rapid loop closure.
Blue Sky Warden, a light aircraft for border defense developed in cooperation with L3 HARRIS.
As part of the demonstrations, a wide and advanced range of electro-optical systems, radars, autonomous vehicles, drones, and UAVs produced by IAI were part of the systemic solution, proving their efficiency against a variety of threats demonstrated in the arena.

IAI CEO, Boaz Levy: "The topography and borders of the State of Israel are among the most complex and challenging in the world – a small country without strategic land depth, facing a variety of threats from the air, sea, and land – and therefore neutralizing the threat quickly and as far as possible from the country's territory is necessary. The solution we presented to the defense system is autonomous, innovative, highly survivable, capable of providing a relevant response to all threats in the field, in all border scenarios while protecting the lives of the fighters in the field, and is the first of its kind successfully demonstrated in Israel. In the past two years, IAI has been working around the clock to protect the country's security, committed to providing systemic, innovative, and groundbreaking solutions."

Ben-Gurion:
"The Negev is the cradle of our nation, the dangerous weak spot of the country and its great hope.
If we do not stand firm in the desert, Tel Aviv will not stand. The existence of the Negev may be more real than the existence of Tel Aviv."

For 75 years they talked about it.
And because they only talked, we lost control.

Ben-Gvir is doing what has not been done since the founding of the state:
He brings the Prime Minister, the Defense Minister, the head of the Shin Bet, the Police Commissioner, and the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories into one picture –
not for a ceremony, not for a statement, but for a governance war in the Negev.
No slogans. No PR.
Actions.
History.
