At AUSA 2014 Israel pavilion to present innovative technologies for asymmetrical warfare.
SIBAT - the International Defense Cooperation Division of the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD) – will present an array of innovative technologies for today's asymmetrical warfare at the Israel Pavilion at AUSA. These solutions, some of them presented for the first time, were developed in order to reduce injuries to uninvolved populations during fighting within urban centers. The systems were developed in close cooperation with the IDF and were proven to have saved lives in recent conflicts.

According to the Director of SIBAT, Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Mishel Ben Baruch, "Today's asymmetrical warfare is unique in that it is taking place less near uninhabited border areas, and has moved into population centers. For this reason, Israeli companies are developing technologies that prevent, as much as possible, injuries to innocent bystanders. In addition, due to the dynamic nature of the threats, there is a growing need to shorten the sensor-to-shooter loop by rapidly identifying the target - and quickly and precisely initiating countermeasures."

"In the Israel Pavilion, a wide range of advanced technologies will be presented, including intelligence and surveillance solutions designed to deliver accurate real-time intelligence pictures that enable significantly more precise targeting. Other solutions include unmanned systems and robotics that can replace and protect soldiers in dangerous locations and prevent collateral damage."

"The Israel Defense Ministry recognizes and appreciates the contribution of Israel's SME defense companies that consistently develop cutting-edge technologies that are innovative, unique, modular and flexible. These companies are able to respond quickly to customers' evolving needs and to urgent demands from the field."

"As in years past, we will promote cooperation between Israeli and American companies at AUSA - an approach which has proven successful in dealing with reduced defense budgets - and remaining competitive in a crowded market."
