(haipo) - The competition for the selection of the system that will solve the problem of the UAVs - Under the guidance of Defense Minister Yoav Galant, the Ministry of Defense's Defense Ministry accelerates the development of advanced interception technologies to protect against the threat of UAVs. MPAAT at the Ministry of Defense conducted a first operational experiment of its kind, with the participation of 8 Israeli industries, which presented a variety of interception solutions.
The threat of UAVs - an experiment in 8 interception systems and a competition is held
The Ministry of Defense informed Lai Pa:
Minister of Defense Yoav Galant, Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology Gila Gamaliel, Director General of the Ministry of Defense Colonel (resp.) Eyal Zamir, Deputy Chief of Staff Col. Amir Baram and head of the Defense Ministry, Brigadier General (resp.) Dr. Danny Gold , led yesterday (Monday) the first test day of its kind to locate and prove new capabilities to intercept UAVs. In view of the developing challenge, several weeks ago the Minister of Defense ordered an accelerated competitive procedure to find interception solutions.
Experiment of 8 different systems
The experiment took place at an experimental field in the south of the country, with the participation of eight Israeli industries, from the largest (Elbit Systems, Rafael and IAI) to start-up companies, which presented technological solutions for intercepting drones. Solutions that met the threshold conditions in the demonstration phase will advance to an accelerated development phase and operational examination.
Director General of the Ministry of Defense, Maj. Gen. (resp.) Eyal Zamir:
"Responding to the threat of UAVs is a national task of the highest priority. The Ministry of Defense has so far invested hundreds of millions of NIS in development, massive procurement and the deployment of capabilities. Under the directive of the Minister of Defense, we have defined a 'green track' for engagement and rapid operational deployment for anyone who will bring an effective solution, large industries and startup companies alike.
Our goal is to complete the development and deployment of new interception systems in the shortest possible time, which, together with the existing layers of protection, the laser system and other means we develop and manufacture, will bring about a broader solution."
Head of the Ministry of Defense, Brigadier General Dr. Danny Gold:
"The defense system is determined to complete a broad defensive response to the threat of UAVs, as we have done to threats at the higher levels. Under the guidance of the Minister of Defense and the Director General of the Ministry of Defense, we formulated an operational architecture together with the IDF, which includes layers of detection, tracking and interception. Any technology that matures is added to the array. In the series of experiments, we achieved a significant milestone in promoting new capabilities to intercept UAVs, which will now enter an accelerated development process."
With all the criticism that has been voiced below regarding Qatar, it should be understood that Qatar practices "balance" and at the same time as financing terrorism, it also flows large sums of money, mainly indirectly, to consultants and commentators here in Israel who do their work faithfully for it and make a living from it, it seems, with a generous hand. In conclusion - Qatar funds both sides for its interests, which in essence are the destruction of the State of Israel, and does so financially in a "balanced" way so that all of us, who are raised above us, benefit.
There is no real competition in the development of weapons - that is why solutions are achieved late and after human lives are lost. The solutions that are sometimes obtained are not ideal - they are usually very expensive - and this works out for many people - contrary to the public interest and contrary to the security interest.
Thank you my friend Yaron for the report. Happy holidays and a good and blessed week.
If Gallant is fired at the same second, both the Chief of Staff and the head of the Shin Bet should resign as a sign of solidarity
Gamaliel discovered? What exactly is she doing there?
The only place that needs to be neutralized to restore deterrence is called "Doha" in Qatar.
We all understand it from the first day that Hezbollah fired missiles in the north and the nothing-and-nothing duo of Galant and Gantz threatened them that they "wouldn't dare". So they dare since then as much as they want and the funding from Qatar flows unhindered and we are dealing in Da'ha instead of Doha..
