Core Areas of Activity
Space: Positioned as Israel’s national center of
excellence in space technology, IAI has a proud
legacy of dozens of satellites deployed in space.
IAI develops and produces awide range of cutting-
edge satellites and satellite equipment, including
observation and communication satellites,
scientific/research satellite systems, ground
control stations, mission centers, and launchers.
With the latest members of OPTSAT-3000 (an
electro-optical imaging) satellite product line,
TECSAR (a Synthetic Aperture Radar observation)
satellite line and AMOS communications satellite
product line, IAI has utilized the advanced
technologies, experience and know-how
developed over the years to provide users with
cost effective and comprehensive solutions for
national security and commercial applications.
Missile Defense: IAI has led the development of
Israel’s multi-layered missile defense program
since 1990, as the prime contractor for the Arrow
2 and 3 missile defense systems and provider of
key sensors for other widely deployed, air and
missile defense systems. IAI is also leading the
groundbreaking Barak-8 program, an advanced
long-range surface-to-air missile (SAM), designed
to defend against any type of airborne threat.
Unmanned Systems: With over 40 years
experience and 1,400,000 operational flight
hours, in support of key military operations
around the world, IAI is a global leader in the
design, development, and manufacture of
unmanned systems. IAI supports a wide range
of advanced unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV),
unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) and unmanned
surface vessels (USV).
Naval Systems: IAI develops, manufactures, and
integrates advanced naval mission systems,
sensors, and combat management systems:
maritime radars, electro-optical payloads,
electronicwarfare, communication and datalinks,
and C4I. IAI’s defense systems include the
Barak family of anti-air and anti-missile defense
system and the Gabriel anti-ship attack missile.
IAI offers advanced patrol and attack boats, and
modernization and upgrade of existing vessels
and systems.
Intelligence Surveillance, & Reconnaissance
(ISR): IAI delivers real-time reconnaissance,
electronic intelligence capabilities through
turnkey solutions focusing on strategic and
targeting assets. These includeSignal Intelligence
(SIGINT), Image Intelligence (IMINT), Synthetic
Aperture Radar (SAR) technologies, and day &
night EO/IR systems, all implemented through
integrated, networked and connected system of
systems.
Modernization & Upgrade: IAI transforms previ-
ous generation platforms on aircraft and helicop-
ters of Eastern andWestern origin into advanced,
effective systems able tomeet today’s and tomor-
row’s most demanding mission requirements.
Modernization packages often include a com-
prehensive life extension and system upgrades
with advanced avionics, training equipment,
simulators, and mission planning and debrief-
ing systems.
HomelandSecurity (HLS) &Cyber: Operational at
some of the world’smost sensitive conflict areas,
IAI’s comprehensive, integrated solutions utilize
airborne, ground-based, maritime or mobile
sensors, augmented by unattended platforms
like aerostat or unmanned patrol vehicles,
through secure information networks. In the
cyber domain, IAI offers a comprehensive suite of
cyber-intelligence, cyber early warning and cyber
training and simulation systems for defense,
intelligence, law enforcement and homeland
security applications. IAI’s capabilities address all
operational levels, from signal interception and
analysis, to advanced, user-directedmonitoring,
assessment and targeting.
GroundSystems: IAI develops advanced systems
and capabilities for use by land forces, including
state of the art battle management and commu-
nication systems supporting on-the-move broad-
band communications and integrated targeting
and navigation technology for precision guided
weapons. IAI also offers a wide range of com-
bat support systems – from guided missiles to
obstacle breeching, counter-mine, and counter-
IED. A significant thrust of IAI’s land systems de-
velopment is in the area of robotics, integrating
autonomous navigation, sensor fusion, terrestrial
andSATCOMcommunications through the imple-
mentation of modular robotic building blocks.
Commercial Aviation: IAI designs and manufac-
tures business jets, primary aerostructures and
landing gear, servo control and actuator systems
for major international OEMs. IAI also provides an
expert, one-stop-shop for commercial aircraft,
with full maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO)
services for aircraft, engines and components.
Aircraft Conversions: IAI is a recognized, global
leader for aircraft passenger to cargo conversion
with over 40 years of experience and more than
200 converted aircraft delivered. IAI develops its
own STC (“BDSF”) for a range of aircraft cargo
conversions, for both commercial and military
markets.
