Another meaningful global discussion around Rafael’s most groundbreaking and lifesaving technologies. Together with our subsidiary, EuroTrophy GmbH and partners at General Dynamics European Land Systems, we were pleased to share insights on the world’s only operational APS and its evolution to meet today’s dynamic operational environment, protecting a full spectrum of armored combat vehicles—from light vehicles to MBTs. We extend our thanks to our hosts in London, SAE Media Group Defence and their #FAVS24 conference. For the latest on #TrophyAPS: https://lnkd.in/d-g4hFNM

?? Digital Shark on Duty! ?? As #Euronaval2024 concludes, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems is excited to announce a new contract with a NATO member Navy for our Digital Shark Naval Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) System. ?? Engineered for today’s complex maritime threats, Digital Shark empowers fleets to dominate the electromagnetic spectrum, enhancing both defensive and offensive capabilities. ?? Cutting-edge Technology: Digital Shark utilizes advanced technology, featuring an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) for rapid, precise beam steering and high-power jamming. With Digital RF Memory (DRFM), it can autonomously detect and counter complex radar threats, from missile seekers to targeting radars. ? Enhanced Fleet Protection: Designed to act autonomously and instantly, Digital Shark detects, disrupts, and neutralizes threats, equipping naval forces to maintain an edge in electronic warfare and maritime security. It joins Rafael’s advanced naval EW solutions, such as the C-GEM active decoy, providing layered, comprehensive defense in contested waters. Ran Tavor, VP and Head of Rafael’s Naval Systems Division, says: “We are honored to support this specificNATO fleet with a cutting-edge system that strengthens electronic defense and bolsters offensive responses to today’s advanced radar threats.” Explore Digital Shark and more at Rafael’s Euronaval exhibit.

C-Dome in Action Once Again: In recent days, our naval air defense system, C-Dome, intercepted another threat over the Mediterranean Sea with impressive speed and precision, securing Israel’s coastline. This successful interception joins numerous others against missiles and UAVs, both by C-Dome and its land-based counterpart, Iron Dome, further proving the effectiveness of our layered defense capabilities. As C-Dome continues to demonstrate its operational strength, we’re showcasing our full range of advanced naval defense solutions at the Euronaval exhibition. Featured innovations include C-Dome and Typhoon, delivering cutting-edge, multi-layered protection for the maritime arena. Footage Courtesy of Israel Defense Forces

At Rafael, knowing that we are protecting our nation’s security is the ultimate reward. ?? Yesterday, the annual Israel Defense Prizes were awarded, and we are honored to have contributed to two of this year’s winning projects, bringing Rafael’s total to 61 awards. The first award, which we proudly share with the Mossad and the Israeli Air Force, is for a groundbreaking strategic project that integrates cutting-edge technology, high-quality intelligence, ingenuity, and operational daring, reshaping the field. The second award honors the “David’s Sling” system, which serves as a constant shield, protecting Israel’s citizens around the clock. These awards represent a meaningful recognition of our path forward, motivating us at Rafael to continue innovating and developing the next generation of advanced defense solutions to safeguard Israel’s security. In celebration of the win, we invite you to watch a brief video on the “David’s Sling” system. ???? #defensetechnology #innovation #davidssling #Rafael

Rafael is readying for Euronaval where it is focusing on unique modular naval solutions, asymmetric warfare and layered air defense at sea. From C-Dome to the C-UAS capable Typhoon and its various configurations, there is a whole lot in store.

As we approach the last day of this month, we're here with an important reminder: Early detection saves lives. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

?? U.S. Marine Corps Completes First Live-Fire Exercise with Iron Dome-Integrated Air Defense System ?????????? In a significant step for joint U.S.-Israel air defense initiatives, the U.S. Marine Corps has successfully completed its inaugural live-fire exercise with a prototype air defense system incorporating Rafael’s Iron Dome (Tamir) interceptor. This system—developed with Raytheon as the prime contractor—integrates an American radar and command center with the Tamir interceptor and mobile launcher, enabling agile deployment and interception capabilities tailored for the Marines. This exercise highlighted the Marines’ proficiency in fully operating the system and underscored the Iron Dome interceptor’s capability to address a range of threats, including cruise missiles, UAVs, and various forms of rocket artillery. Following comprehensive training and testing phases, the live-fire exercise validated the mobile launcher’s continuous launch capabilities, a critical feature for medium-range interception. Shlomo Toaff, Executive Vice President, Head of Rafael’s Air Defense Systems Division: “The Iron Dome system continues to prove itself as an advanced and unique air defense solution, with thousands of successful interceptions in complex operational scenarios. Our collaboration with the U.S. Marine Corps and our partnership with Raytheon demonstrates Rafael’s ability to deliver tailored and unique solutions, providing effective and precise air defense against a wide range of aerial threats. This successful exercise represents an important milestone, and we will continue, together with IMDO, to expand air defense capabilities in collaboration with our strategic partners worldwide.” This successful milestone reflects the robust partnership between Rafael, Raytheon, and the U.S. Marine Corps as they work toward enhanced medium-range interception capabilities, paving the way for the operationalization of the Marine Corps’ first prototype battery.

“The world’s only operational and most advanced active protection system.” This is a major step for strengthening the defense of our German friends with a critical battlefield capability. ???????? #TROPHY #DefenseCooperation
