The development of unmanned aerial vehicles in Israel is excellent, with leading technology, large export volume, and a global leading position in anti drone technology.
Technical level and market performance
Israel is one of the leading countries in drone technology. Since the 1970s, Israel's drone technology has undergone significant development. In 1973, during the Yom Kippur War, Israel's intelligence agencies began to strengthen, leading to the development of unmanned aerial vehicle systems. In 1976, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) successfully developed a small tactical remote control unmanned aerial vehicle called the Scout, which performed excellently in subsequent military operations. At present, there are about 50 drone companies in Israel, launching around 160-170 types of drones, of which about one-fifth of the companies are engaged in the research and manufacturing of military drones. The export volume of Israeli drones accounts for 40% of the international market, mainly exported to European and Asian countries.
Key technologies and products
Israel's drone technology has significant advantages globally. The main products include Elbit Systems' Hermes 900 unmanned aerial vehicle, Skylark series light unmanned aerial vehicle, etc. These products have performed well in domestic and international markets, especially with high market share in Europe and Asia. In addition, Israel is also a global leader in anti drone technology, responding to threats from Iran, Lebanon's Hezbollah, and other countries through comprehensive development of equipment, theory, technology, and market.
Latest news and future trends
In recent years, Israel's latest developments in drone technology include continuous innovation in anti drone technology. For example, the Israeli military equipped its Merkava Mk.3 tank with an innovative anti drone cage, and Elbit Systems showcased its ReDrone modular, multi mission, multi-sensor anti drone system solution. In the future, Israel's drone technology will continue to lead in innovation and application, especially with more breakthroughs and developments in anti drone technology and export markets.
