The aerospace industry will establish a plant in Be'er Sheva Investing tens of millions of shekels

IAI announces its entry into the onshore field and the establishment of an innovative plant in this area in Be'er Sheva. The plant's products will be at the forefront of global technology in areas such as ground autonomous robotics, terrestrial radar systems such as drone guard for disrupting skimmers and border radar protection. The establishment of the onshore plant in Be'er Sheva is part of the new strategy led by the board of directors and management of the aerospace industry. Tens of millions of shekels will be invested in the establishment of the plant to build innovative technological infrastructure and research and development in breakthrough areas. The plant will be part of the Alta division of the aerospace industry engaged in the development of airborne radar systems, mission intelligence systems, electronic warfare systems, communications systems and more. Alta is world-renowned in its field, developed and manufactured the Iron Dome radar system, and its advanced systems are sold to the needs. Military and civilian to over a hundred countries around the world.
Spending on combat solutions in the dry world accounts for about 15% of global defense budgets and this market is growing at an annual growth rate of 4% -6%. This field includes autonomous warfare technology that is gaining a lot of interest from advanced armies led by the US and Israel.
Harel Locker, chairman of the aerospace industry: "The establishment of the onshore plant in Beersheba is part of the company's decision to enter the land sector. It is a high-growth area and the aerospace industry's technology is a great platform for developing a variety of solutions and addressing the operational needs of the ground forces, protecting the forces, obtaining intelligence for them and attacking systems. In light of the southern crossing, there is no more natural place for a dry plant than in Beersheba. "
Recently, IAI successfully introduced the Defense Ministry to Carmel, a UAV based on the family of unmanned systems and the company's robotic tools widely used in Israel and around the world. The system incorporates artificial intelligence to identify and identify threats and autonomous decision making that enable destruction of targets and threats effectively. Of managing the armament system and autonomous driving in complex driving areas, demonstrating the technological and leading capabilities of the aerospace industry in ground tool automation.
