Date: 08/09/2011, 5:12 PM Author: Avihai Chiim IDF
This week, Israel Aerospace Industries unveiled the Othello system, which is
an advanced optical system that detects launches (of rockets, anti-tank
missiles and artillery) by identifying the optical signature during
launches.
The system is able in real-time to determine the launch site, which will
allow the IDF to respond immediately.
The system is currently in advanced stages of testing.
The system can be installed on armored combat vehicles, light tactical
vehicles and airborne platforms.
Also this week, the Rex system was unveiled. Rex is a small robotic platform
capable of carrying 200 kilograms while accompanying soldiers operating in
the field. Rex is intended to accompany groups of 3-10 soldiers during
missions and can operate for 72 hours without refueling.
An aerospace industry official told IDF Website that "the future is unmanned
robotic and aerial vehicles. We have a lot of work to do but we are
advancing unmanned technologies in order to reduce casualties."
