In the mid-70s a group of IAI (Israel Air Industries) engineers and IAF (Israeli Air Force) officers began a new project to develop an ultra modern Israeli fighter aircraft – a project that was supposed to take a quantum leap for aeronautics.
Designed to be the most advanced of its kind in the world by any standards, the Arie (Lion), would give the IAF a reliable option to the advanced US F-15 and F-16 types. Although it has never came through, the Arie became the cornerstone of another future and most ambitious project ever, an Israeli breakthrough to develop and produce the Lavi, the Israeli dream aircraft to outmatch the F-16.
Background
In response to the French embargo forced upon Israel after the Six-day warin 1967, a decision was made to strive for independence in the development of major weapons systems. Israel had already acquired the means to build good copies of the French Mirage, but wanted to be much more than just a clone maker. The commander of the IAF (1982-1987), Gen. Amos Lapidot: said, “The essence was to create a technological infrastructure to develop and manufacture weapons systems in the three major weapons systems platforms – tanks, aircraft and ships. Behind that concept, were three basic rationales: First, Israel should not, and could not rely on foreign countries very volatile foreign policies. Secondly, the Israeli air force always strives to develop and use new war tactics and strategies, and was in constant need of new equipment to fulfill those operational objectives. Third, a national strategy to promote Israel 's and IAI's state-of-the-art technological accomplishments". This last point doesn't come over so well in English - by implication, these accomplishments would deter aggression, save money on expensive foreign weapon imports and maybe help Israeli exports.
Development
In 1974, an IAI team was set up to begin the Arie project. As no government approval had yet been received to produce it, the program was simply codenamed “R&D project”. Ovadia Harrari, who would later become head of the Lavi program, was to lead that endeavor. The IAI decided to develop the Arie based on the technological knowhow acquired from the Kfir project, particularly from the Kfir-Canard program – the improved version. In fact, the first proposal which was put on hold by the Air Force, was to develop an aircraft to be named “Super Kfir” – a regular Kfir whose original J79 engine was replaced by an F100 model, the same as in early F-15/F-16s versions. That new engine would substantially increase the Super-Kfir's flying performance. However, due to the Air Force's strict specs requirements, a new draft was called for, in spite of the Kfir/Arie's visual similarities. Over thirty different configurations were evaluated. The IAI tested several engine models, including the British Rolls- Royce RB-199, which powers the European Tornado aircraft. Soon, the options were reduced to just two. The F-100 single engine plane, or a twin-engine version. The later, codenamed Light Weight Fighter-4 (LWF-4), was to be powered by two General-Electric F-404 engines as used in the F-18. “Looking at the different designs of the Arie, one can notice that it is an extensively modified Kfir” explains Harrari ,“ the aircraft is visually different, but its roots lay in the Kfir”. The new future fighter aircraft, which was now codenamed “Hadish” (innovative), could be described as a single seat light fighter, capable of reaching 2.4 Mach speed, a 75,000 ft altitude ceiling, with a 480 km combat radius. Armament: would have been a 30-mm cannon and medium range air-to-air missiles. Avionics would include a radar, a helmet sight and an integral electronic warfare system. In addition, the aircraft would have low optical and radar signatures. Even the US F-15 and F-16 could not match these features at that time. The outstanding question: An air-to-air fighter, or an air-to-ground attack aircraft? During its initial design phases, the 1973Yom-Kippur war broke out, and the Israeli Air Force focused its attention on the battle proven air-to-air configuration concept, as air power and air superiority consist basically of air-to-air combat missions. Therefore, about 90 percent of the “Hadish” capabilities would be directed for air-to-air combat.
Technologies and Avionics
The Arie had several technological breakthroughs. It was designed to be the first Israeli aircraft to deploy digital fly-by-wire flight control system (at that time, cutting edge technology). This fly-by-wire concept, permitted the engineers to design an aerodynamically non-stable platform. Hence, they could achieve a small and highly maneuverable aircraft. In the air-to-air version, to cope with enemy intruder aircraft, and keeping its air-superiority capabilities, the Arie would be equipped with advanced avionics and special ordnance systems: a highly sensitive Israeli radar capable of acquiring low-altitude flying targets. Advanced electro-optical systems would enable the Arie to locate ground targets at night. Another breakthrough, was the pilot's option to use his helmet mounted sight, easing his combat workload. In the mid-70's these systems were nearly unheard of. It would take another ten years for the helmet mounted sight to become operational in any type of combat aircraft. The Arie's cockpit resembles to a great extent that of the F-16's early versions. Besides the Head-up Display (HUD), a Monochromatic Display was mounted in the cockpit to display the radar's viewpoint. The Pilot's view was close to 360º visibility– a life and death factor in air combats. This is now the normal design in both Western and Russian combat aircraft from the F-15 onwards. The Arie's ordnance would include an improved 30-mm DAPA cannon, assorted air-to-air missiles, iron bombs, and precision guided ordnance. Max. military load is: 7 tons. Although that aircraft was not meant to be a stealth aircraft, some basic stealth features were studied to give it the option to strike heavily fortified missile zones. This objective was based on the lessons learned during and after the 1973 Yom-Kippur war, when Israeli fighters had to face a huge number of SAMs. The Arie would also be equipped with an advanced Electronic-Warfare system produced by Israel , giving the pilot an early warning signal to lock on to enemy threats and jam them. Studies were made to drastically reduce its radar signature, making it extremely difficult to be detected by enemy radar. For example, its bomb load was to be stowed inside a conformal ventral capsule, to reduce its radar cross section.
A Paper's Lion
According to the program timetable, the Arie's initial development phase should have been completed by mid 1979. Until then, the IAI would have to complete flight tests, select and define all the contractors. By that year's end, an initial test flight was scheduled for the first of three prototypes. By mid 1980, 10 pre-production aircrafts should be completed, with regular production to begin in the following two years. The Air Force should be receiving the first production Arie by the end of 1983. Delivery of 100 aircraft would be completed by the end of 1985. Meanwhile, the IAF was leaning towards the US aircraft option. Rumors indicated that the USA would finally agree to sell Israel F-15s and F-16s. Finally, a decision was made to order the US aircraft. and scrap the Arie. In August 1975, the IAF's chief, the (late) Gen. Benny Peled released a document defining the IAF's policy in relation to the Arie project. The document recommended the US F-15s and F-16s. Based on his assessment, the IAF began a procurement program of F-15s to be delivered by 1976. Moreover, it had been determined that the F-16 in principle answered Israel 's operational needs for an air superiority aircraft for the 80s. As a result of intense pressure on the IAF, Gen. Benny Peled decided to respond with a letter on May 10, 1976 , stating the reasons not to progress with the Arie: The US would agree to sell Israel F-16s. It had also been agreed that the US would sell Israel the F-100 engine, and there were not sufficient funds to keep the project moving. “The fundamental knowledge that led to the development of the Lavi relied on the experience acquired from the “Hadish” and Arie”, says Gen. Lapidot, who created the Lavi project board, and commanded the Israeli Air Force by the time the project was canceled. “It can be definitely stated that the Arie, the Nesher and Kfir programs, added significantly to the development of the Israel Aircraft Industry (IAI), so that when we gave the “go ahead” for the Lavi, we already had a complete infrastructure in place and ready to work. In 1980, we decided to build a smaller version of the Arie. It is not by coincidence that it was named the Lavi. Lavi is a Lion (Arie), although a very much younger and smaller one”

Détection d’Explosifs : une Nanopuce 3000 fois plus Sensible qu’un Chien
Dr. Sivan Cohen-Wiesenfeld | Défense
Une équipe de chercheurs de l’Ecole de Chimie de l’Université de Tel-Aviv, en collaboration avec la société Tracense de nanotechnologie et sous la direction du Prof. Fernando Patolsky, a mis au point une puce électronique équipée d’une multitude de nano-capteurs capable de détecter à distance d’infimes molécules d’explosifs dispersées dans l’air, avec une sensibilité des milliers de fois supérieure à celles du nez d’un chien. La nouvelle technologie, qui éveille déjà un intérêt considérable dans les milieux de la sécurité civile et militaire en Israël et dans le monde, a été publiée dans la prestigieuse revue Nature Communication.
Selon le Prof. Patolsky, les détecteurs existant actuellement pour identifier les explosifs sont coûteux et encombrants. De plus, le processus de déchiffrement des résultats est long et nécessite le recours à des experts et à des laboratoires externes. Le nouveau détecteur, au contraire “est compact, peu coûteux, mobile, et permet une identification rapide, efficace et fiable des explosifs”.
Le détecteur mis au point par le Prof. Patolsky se compose d’une puce équipée de milliards de nano-fibres en silicium, formant un dispositif électrique extrêmement sensible, recouvert d’une couche de 144 récepteurs chimiques. Lorsqu’une molécule d’explosif vient en contact avec ces récepteurs, elle se fixe à eux et réagit à chacun d’eux simultanément. Le détecteur effectue alors une analyse mathématique en temps réel de la réponse de la matière aux différents récepteurs, avec une rapidité, une efficacité et une fiabilité sans concurrence, ont affirmé les chercheurs.
Le dispositif est directement inspiré de notre système olfactif, explique le professeur Patolsky. “Notre détecteur est en fait un nez artificiel adapté aux molécules d’explosifs, environ 3000 fois plus sensible que le nez d’un chien. Généralement, plus un détecteur est sensible moins il est sélectif; mais nos récepteurs peuvent distinguer une concentration moléculaire dans l’air de l’ordre d’un par quadrillion (un million de trillions). Cela signifie que notre détecteur peut reconnaître à distance des quantités minuscules de molécules que les autres détecteurs ne peuvent pas identifier”. Le dispositif, encore au stade de prototype, est de la taille d’un ordinateur portable. Mais le Prof. Patolsky annonce que son équipe travaille déjà à la construction d’un système encore plus mobile, de la taille d’un iPhone.
Le nouveau détecteur est basé sur un dispositif développé par le professeur Patoslky et son équipe il y a 3 ans, pour identifier des substances utilisée pour la guerre biologique et chimique. La société Tracense, partenaire de l’Université de Tel-Aviv, a investi des millions de dollars dans le développement du prototype, qui est déjà étudié et testé par les forces de sécurité israéliennes, y compris le Shin Beth (Services de sécurité intérieure israéliens).
Selon le professeur Patolsky, le détecteur pourra à l’avenir être utilisé par les forces opérationnelles. “Il pourrait même fonctionner sur les véhicules aériens sans pilote, (drones)”. “Un laboratoire qui fabrique des explosifs produit des molécules de T.N.T. dispersées dans l’air ; un drone équipé d’un détecteur peut donc aspirer l’air au-dessus du bâtiment suspecté et identifier les explosifs”.
Le nouveau détecteur pourra même être utilisé dans les aéroports, à l’entrée des centres commerciaux, dans les gares et autres lieux publics en remplacement des systèmes de sécurité existants, moins précis. En effet, la plupart des systèmes de sécurité actuellement en usage dans les aéroports utilisent la technique de spectrométrie de mobilité ionique pour identifier les molécules dans l’air en mesurant leur vitesse de passage à travers le champ électrique. Ce procédé, pas toujours fiable, ne peut détecter que quelques molécules par milliard. La nouvelle nanopuce est un million de fois plus efficace que les technologies actuelles. En outre, le professeur Patolsky et son équipe mettent au point également des détecteurs pour d’autres usages civils. “Sur la base de la technologie de ce prototype, nous développons également des capteurs pour d’autres usages civils, par exemple, des détecteurs de stupéfiants.”

IAI unveils BirdEye 650D, mini-UAV designed for 24 hour missions
Israel Aerospace Industries has unveiled its BirdEye 650D mini unmanned air system, the third variant of the BirdEye 650 mini-UAV. The new version extends the systems' mission endurance from two and three hours to 24
Israel Aerospace Industries has unveiled its BirdEye 650D mini unmanned air vehicle (UAV) at the recent IDAS-BMD symposium in Tel Aviv. The new version is a third variant of the BirdEye 650 mini-UAV. The 650D is extending the platform’s mission endurance from two and three hours to 24. Previous versions required committing two or three UAVs to achieve a 24 hour cycle.
The BirdEye platform was launched with the BirdEye 400 electrically powered variant, carrying 1.2 kg (2.6lb) typically carrying the 1 kg (2.2lb) MicroPOP stabilized EO payload. This variant was later enhanced into the BirdEye 650, a 11 kg (24lb) drone doubling endurance to two hours with the same MicroPOP payload. A longer endurance version was later introduced, stretching the mission to 3.5 hours, taking advantage of lighter payloads and larger power pack. The BirdEye 650 have also been tested carrying fuel cells, on missions of up to six hours. Regardless of power source, electrical propulsion is not powerful enough to sustain long missions with the payload class required by tactical users, IAI sources indicated.
These specifications typically require endurance of 20-24 hours and payload weight class of 5-6 kg. While IAI’s MiniPOP is slightly heavier for this application, lighter payloads conforming with this class are the multi-sensor TASE 350, comprising an IR and HD camera weighing 3.5 kg (7.25lb) from UTC or the Israeli T-Stamp, a 2.8 kg stabilized payload carrying a cooled IR and TV camera from Controp.
Electrical propulsion is far from meeting such goals. To meet this goal with a compact platform, IAI engineers scaled up the BirdEye 650 platform, adding a small combustion engine, and fuel tank sustaining 20-24 hours (depending on the payload used). The BirdEye supports such mission endurance with a starter-alternator sustaining the charged battery supporting the avionics, datalink and payload on the extended mission. In this configuration the BirdEye 650D has a longer fuselage and larger wing span, enabling maximum take-off weight of 30kg (66lb). The new model has an operational radius of over 50km (27nm).
The new version is launched from a catapult and retrieved by parachute and airbag. As performed by other BirdEye models, the 650D also uses a belly placed parachute that, when retrieved, flips the drone on its back, protecting the payload from ground impact. This flipped landing method eliminates the need for retractable turret. This mini-UAV will also be configured to operate from naval vessels, using a catapult launch systems and several, optional at-sea retrieval systems.

Israel plans to sell for the first time its Mekava IV main battle tank to foreign army.
In a deal estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars, Israel plans to sell its Merkava Mark IV main battle tank to a foreign army for the first time since the first Merkava was manufactured in the late 1970s. It appears that the budget crisis in the defense establishment was a motivating factor behind the decision to export the tank.
For many years, the security establishment opposed selling the Merkava to foreign countries so as not to expose the secrets of its advanced armor and other unique systems. The Armored Corps Rakia program is currently developing a new tank, but it is unclear what the project's fate will be in light of the army's ongoing financial problems. Development of the Merkava Mk 4 has started in the early 1990s and its existence was first unveiled in 2002. First production Merkava Mk 4 MBTs have been delivered to the Israel Defence Force (IDF) and the first battalion was fully operational in 2004.
The Merkava IV represents the third evolution of the Merkava main battle tank family. The overall layout of the Merkava Mk 4 is similar to that of the earlier versions. Main armament is a 120 mm smoothbore gun developed by Israel Military Industries that is a further development of that installed in the Merkava Mk 3. Secondary armament consists of a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun, 7.62 mm machine gun mounted on the right side of the turret roof and an internally mounted 60 mm breech-loaded mortar.
In the Merkava Mk 4 the ballistic protection is modular and is claimed to provide more effective protection against modern threats involving both protection efficiency and coverage area. The latest generation of Merkava IV in service with the Israeli Army are now equipped with the Trophy, an active protection system developed by the Israeli Company Rafael.
The Trophy active protection system creates a hemispheric protected zone around the vehicle where incoming threats are intercepted and defeated. The Trophy system is able to intercept any incoming HEAT threat, including RPG rockets at a range of 10 – 30 meters from the protected platform.

Rafael extends Iron Dome C-RAM to the naval domain
RAFAEL is extending the Iron Dome Counter-Rocket, Artillery and Mortar defense system to the maritime domain, to protect surface vessels from a wide range of threats, including ballistic trajectory and direct attack weapons. The navalized system dubbed ‘C-Dome’ is a Point Defense System designed to handle saturation attacks in both blue and littoral waters, by engaging multiple targets simultaneously. Similar to C-RAM scenario, saturation attacks at sea would require very short reaction time thus requiring the employment of automatic and semi-automatic engagements.
To address those threats C-Dome include a multi-round launcher assembly loaded with ten vertically-launched canisterised ‘Tamir’ interceptors packed in a modular Vertical Launcher Unit installed below deck. Tamir interceptors have proved themselves in over a thousand successful intercepts in recent combat engagements with rockets of different types.
The systems’ small footprint enables integration on small ships, including OPVs, small Corvettes or offshore rigs. The system utilizes the ship’s own surveillance radar and does not require a dedicated fire control radar. The systems’ command and control are integrated with the ship’s combat management system, facilitating seamless system operation.
C-Dome uses the combat-proven Iron Dome interceptor – Tamir – that has already achieved more than 1000 successful interceptions. Unlike the Iron Dome configuration, C-Dome Tamir interceptors are launched vertically, supporting unrestricted 360° azimuth coverage. The missile has an advanced warhead that ensures high kill probability against a wide range of targets. Recent combat engagements have challenged the interceptor, which demonstrated extremely agility and high rate-of-turn to facilitate intercepting in extremely demanding scenarios. and ripple attacks. The missile uses a smart proximity fuze that maximizes lethality of its powerful warhead to ensure target destruction.

Target missile tracked successfully, but second stage of trial cancelled by defense officials.
Israel fired a target missile used to test the Arrow ballistic missile defense system on Tuesday, but canceled the firing of an interceptor at the target, the Defense Ministry announced.
Defense officials said they decided to abort the firing of the interceptor due to the failure of a series of conditions to materialize, adding that the trial was “neither a success nor a failure.”
During the test, a target missile was fired at Israeli air space from over the Mediterranean Sea. In future trials, the Arrow system will be ordered to intercept incoming mock missiles, something that did not occur this time, the ministry added.
The ministry later clarified that during the trial, the target missile flew along its planned path and was tracked by Arrow, but that “the conditions for firing an interceptor were not ripe, and we therefore decided to class the trial as a target missile exercise only.”
Yair Ramati, of the Defense Ministry’s Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure, said the trial was to have consisted of two parts, Ramati said. “The first part of the launch involved tracking the target missile, which was fired over the Mediterranean Sea toward Israel. In the second phase, the Arrow 3 interceptor was supposed to be fired after a series of conditions we set for the trial are met. At an early phase, we collectively decided that the conditions have not been met. In accordance to our criteria, we decided not to launch the Arrow 3 interceptor.”
He stressed that conditions for a trial are very different than those need for an operational launch. “This is not the first time that not all conditions are met for a trial,” Ramati added.
“This trial represents a milestone in the development of the system,” the Defense Ministry added.
Representatives of the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency and of the Israeli and American defense industries were present during the trial. Some were from the MLM Division of Israel Aerospace Industries, the chief contractor of the Arrow program, which works in cooperation with IAI subsidiary Elta Systems.
The system’s fire management system is being developed by Elbit Systems’ Elisra subsidiary.
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems produced the target missile, and Boeing works with IAIMLM in developing the missile defense system.
“The Arrow system is a central component in the multi-layered defense,” the Defense Ministry said. “It relies on four layers of defense: Iron Dome (operational), David’s Sling (under development), Arrow 2 (operational)...and Arrow 3 (under development).”
Trials of the Arrow 3 system, which intercepts missiles in space, will be held in the future, the ministry said.
Last month, the IDF announced that David’s Sling air defense system will soon be deployed for a trial period, before becoming operational.
David’s Sling can intercept short-range to medium-range rockets and missiles, including Hezbollah’s Katyusha rockets.
Its range of coverage is three times that of the Iron Dome anti-rocket defense system.
The system will be deployed in various areas around Israel for a trial period, the IDF added.
After that, David’s Sling will also be set up to intercept hostile aircraft and missiles with longer ranges. Eventually, it should be able to intercept incoming cruise missiles as well.

Faisant suite aux rumeurs de contrats apparues dés 2012, de nombreuses photos ont commencé à filtrer en mars 2015, montrant des canons ATMOS 2000 déployés sur le sol thaïlandais. Selon les rumeurs, le pays asiatique aurait acheté pas moins de 18 canons automoteurs israéliens, la possibilité d’une production locale ayant même été évoquée. De même, selon Elbit, ce contrat est « un contrat de suivi pour ce client », ce qui confirmerait de précédentes livraisons. Toujours selon Elbit « La décision du client de commander des quantités supplémentaires en vertu de ce contrat renforce la position d’Elbit Systems (…) ». La Thaïlande étant le seul pays asiatique supposément client de l’ATMOS, le doute n’est presque plus permis quant à l’identité du « pays d’Asie-Pacifique ».
Si cela devait être confirmé par la voie officielle, la Thaïlande opérerait donc deux plateformes d’artillerie sensiblement équivalentes, son armée étant déjà dotée d’une batterie de six Caesar, livrés par Nexter en 2008.

Nouveau succès pour le drone Hermes 900 !
Elbit Systems a annoncé ce vendredi avoir remporté un nouvel appel d’offre pour son drone Hermes 900. Le nom client n’est pour l’instant pas divulgué, Le contrat est estimé à près de 70 millions de dollars. Selon Elbit Systems, les premiers drones Hermes 900 seront livrés d’ici 12 mois à un client en Amérique Latine.
Un 7ème succès :
Le drone Hermes 900 vient de remporter son septième succès, soit le sixième à l’exportation. Après Israël, le Brésil, le Chili, la Colombie le Mexique et dernièrement la Suisse un nouveau client est à l’ordre du jour.
Le système Hermes 900 :
Le rapport coût/qualité du drone Hermes 900 semble avoir une fois de plus jouer en sa faveur. L’Hermes 900 a été conçu comme un dérivé de la famille Hermes d’Elbit Systems, il a effectué son premier vol en décembre 2009. Il est un dérivé de la famille «Hermes» 450. Dérivé du Hermes 450, le 900 hérite d’un bloc de construction fiable de l'équipement de soutien au sol, des charges utiles et des contrôles de mission au sol, tout en élargissant l'enveloppe de vol et de l'endurance à des niveaux supérieurs. Le décollage et l’atterrissage sont entièrement automatiques.
Parmi les fonctionnalités clés offertes par ce drone, on trouve l'endurance, l'altitude de vol de 30’000 pieds et une capacité de charge utile importante jusqu'à 350 kg.Iil est capable d'accueillir jusqu'à 250 kg de charge en soute avec une charge utile modulaire. L’avionique est innovante, ainsi que ses systèmes électroniques, un moteur ROTAX à faible bruit, le train d’atterrissage est escamotable.
L’Hermes 900 emploie une station au sol pour le contrôle, basée sur l’expérience du modèle 450, le nouvel aéronef bénéficie de la logistique et de la réduction des coûts opérationnels.
Un ensemble de capteurs comprend : la cartographie électro-optique et les systèmes de numérisation de zone (LASSO) avec une charge utile hyperspectrale à pouvoir d’identification de systèmes (véhicules, éléments divers en mouvement). La taille du drone permet le déploiement d'autres capteurs comme par exemple, a communication sécurisée SIGINT, qui inclut le COMINT Skyfix / DF et Skyfix-G et les systèmes GSM.
Pour la configuration d'attaque électronique le drone comprend un système de brouillage SKYJAM pour les communications et AES 210 V/V2 ESM (ELINT) pour les systèmes électroniques.
L’Hermes 900 utilise un ensemble de données intégrées de communication par satellite, permettant de lier les opérations au-delà de la ligne de mire et dans les zones montagneuses, où la ligne de visée UAS SATCOM est restreinte.
Aeronautics Ltd., un spécialiste israélien des drones, annonce que son Dominator XP a terminé avec succès une première campagne d’essais en vol au Mexique. Le gouvernement mexicain est l'un des premiers clients export pour cet appareil Male (moyenne altitude longue endurance) qui a été développé à l’origine pour répondre à un besoin des forces de défense israéliennes.
Le Dominator a été développé à partir du bimoteur léger Diamond DA42. Avec une masse maximale au décollage de 1910 kg et une envergure de 13,5 m, il peut emporter une charge utile de 370 kg pour des missions de renseignement ou de surveillance de plus de 20 heures.
Boeing avait acquis les droits de commercialisation du Dominator sur le marché international auprès d'Aeronautics en 2010. Cependant le constructeur américain ne semble pas avoir été impliqué dans cette vente, qui a été réalisée par l’intermédiaire d’une entreprise mexicaine, Balam Security.

AUSA 2015: Rafael to display Trophy active protection system on Oshkosh M-ATV
By Dylan Vosman - Oct 8, 2015
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., developer and manufacturer of TROPHY APS, the world’s only operational and combat-proven active protection system for armored vehicles, will display its lighter, TROPHY LV (light vehicle) on an Oshkosh Defense M-ATV Base (SXB) 4X4 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle at AUSA, Washington DC. The Oshkosh M-ATV is a superior MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle. The Rafael Trophy LV solution enables greatest level of protection, hostile fire detection and greater lethality increasing operational capabilities and allowing troops to carry out missions with greater flexibility, maneuverability and confidence.
Trophy is a family of situational awareness and active protection hard kill systems that operate in three major stages: Threat detection and threat tracking, followed by hard kill countermeasure activation and threat neutralization.
The operational requirement to equip armored vehicles with an APS is dictated by the growing proliferation of advanced Anti armor weapons. Trophy-LV has the proven capability to defeat advanced threats coupled with handling all safety considerations of an autonomous shooting system, an issue that has raised concerns among potential customers for many years
Trophy-LV APS capabilities have benefitted from decades of experience at Rafael, developing and integrating APSs. The principles supporting Trophy LV are similar to those of Trophy‑HV, an APS which is currently in a fielding process in a third IDF combat brigade.
Trophy‑HV has so far saved dozens of soldiers’ lives, ever since its first deployment in August 2009 and especially in operation “Protective Edge” (summer 2014), where numerous anti-armor threats were launched at Merkava IV tanks equipped with Trophy – none of these potentially lethal attacks caused casualties to IDF troops.
The downscaled Trophy-LV offers a cost-effective, 360º protection, easy integration, minimal risk of collateral damage, outstanding performance at a fraction of the weight, coupled with the highest level of kill probability.
In addition to Trophy LV, the Oshkosh M-ATV will be fitted with a Rafael Samson Remote Controlled Weapon Station (RWS). Samson provides military users with enhanced capability not only in survivability, but affording them greater lethality, derived from Trophy-LV’s hostile fire detection (HFD) capabilities, coupled with, the world’s top-of-the-line RWS, Globally integrated on thousands of fielded ground and naval platforms in over 25 countries, Rafael’s Samson family of advanced Remote Weapon Stations (RWS), capitalizes on extensive combat experience with a deep understanding of emerging military needs. The Samson Family is offered in six land configurations. Samson RWS support diverse, interchangeable weapons and sensors including 5.56/7.62/12.7/30 mm machine guns, 40 mm automatic grenade launchers, anti-tank missiles, observation pods, and non lethal capabilities.

IMI announces new MPR bombs
Yaakov Lappin, Tel Aviv - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
21 January 2016

Israel Military Industries (IMI) has developed two new versions of its MPR series of air-to-ground bombs and is working on a third, company sources have told IHS Jane's .
The MPR-500 bomb is already in service with the Israeli Air Force (IAF) and was used during Operation 'Protective Edge' against militants in the Gaza Strip in 2014.
IMI has now developed the heavier MPR-1000 and MPR-2000 munitions, while work on the lighter MPR-250 is at an advanced research and development stage, according to the sources.
The MPR family has the same form and weight as the standard MK 80 series of general-purpose bombs, so are compatible with a wide range of aircraft and guidance kits.
However, the Israeli bombs have a smaller lethal radius than the original MK 80 series, as well as increased penetration capabilities.
IMI says the MPR-500 has a maximum fragmentation risk range of 60-100 m and can penetrate more than 100 cm of reinforced concrete at an 80° angle.
Performance testing of the heavier versions has not been completed as yet, but an IMI source said the MPR-1000 can penetrate "significantly more than 1.5 m of concrete" while the MPR-2000 has "displayed capabilities that are significantly beyond those originally planned".
The source said precise figures will be released after all the testing is completed.
The MPR-500 enables the IAF "to strike as close as possible to our [ground] forces [and] go through four ceilings in a straight line" before a delayed fuse is activated, if the pilot chooses to use this option, one source said. "In addition to operational flexibility, they decrease risk to non-combatants: a goal the air force has told us is paramount."
"We built these bombs out of strong composite material instead of steel. We strengthened the fuse box significantly. They travel at 350 m/s [when dropped from high altitude], and they can dig before destroying a target completely," the source added.
