Large Israeli Presence at AUSA 2018

Israeli companies will showcase a variety of solutions, focusing on tactical force protection, explosive detection systems, firearm applications, motion systems for air, sea and land applications, and more

Thirteen Israeli companies will exhibit at AUSA 2018, in the Israeli pavilion organized by SIBAT – the International Defense Cooperation Directorate within Israel's Ministry of Defense (IMOD). The AUSA expo will begin tomorrow (October 8) in Washington DC.

Today, military and security forces around the world need solutions for the rapid deployment of forces in the field and their protection. The Israeli defense industries have developed unique solutions to address these needs.

Among the innovations presented at the pavilion are Ortech’s Y-Fort Bunkers and Shielded Walls, designed to protect soldiers gathered in briefing areas, that can be assembled manually in a matter of a few hours by as few as three soldiers and a small tractor if needed – and a unique barrier developed by Mifram against ramming attacks by heavy vehicles that is easy-to-install without the need for special infrastructure. Joining them are solutions to enhance force protection and survivability, including MS-Tech’s portable explosive detection systems, Safe Shoot’s two-sided fire prevention system using RF communication technology, Reshet Graf's IFF (Identify Friend or Foe) solutions for personnel and vehicles, made from a passive infrared-reflective material, that can only be identified by night vision devices, and Magam’s self-sealing fuel tank protecting against the impact of bullets up to 20mm, increasing the survivability of vehicle and crew.

According to SIBAT’s Director, Brig. Gen. (ret.) Michel Ben Baruch, “Threats of terrorism around the world, and the changing nature of conflicts, require solutions that are portable, flexible and fast. Israel’s small and medium defense companies, belonging to the SME sector, are able to provide rapid and flexible development and production to meet these needs.

“SIBAT continues to operate at the federal level as well as with the various states in order to create fruitful cooperation with Israel’s defense industry. The Israeli companies exhibiting at Israel’s National Pavilion bring with them advanced technologies that have already been proven operationally.”
