Israel at FIDAE 2010 – Harnessing Defense Technology for National Security
Israel has established a unique, long lasting relationship with most Latin American countries, based on mutual economic and defense interests. Despite facing the peril of cross-border enemies, constant terror and insurgency for more than 60 years, the small nation aspired high, evolving into a prosperous country, much appraised for its impressive status in world's leading science, agriculture, health and defense technology achievements. Maintaining a qualitative edge over all its adversaries has become the cornerstone in Israel's defense strategy and a driving force motivating the development of the country's defense industry, highly regarded in the world market. Participating in FIDAE 2010, Israel's defense companies have successfully gained access, with advanced defense systems, into military forces throughout Latin America.
Indigenous systems developed for Israel's Defense Forces are currently supporting air, land and naval forces among the world's leading militaries, protecting the warfighters, enhancing combat capabilities, providing real-time intelligence, reconnaissance and precision attack. Such systems can also be integrated through sophisticated command, control and communications equipment to provide complete and efficient system of systems.
Equally advanced solutions are provided in support of the Global War on Terror, enhancing homeland security with sophisticated security systems, ranging from personal protection equipment to advanced weapons sights and combat gear. Israel's security and homeland defense products, technologies and methodologies help protecting national defense and peacekeeping contingencies worldwide, secure major events, strategic infrastructure and VIP, improve the preparedness and resilience of municipal and national authorities during states of emergency and assist enforcing law and order in urban centers and rural areas. Comprehensive modernization and upgrading packages, maximizing the life-cycle of current systems, while maintaining their effectiveness against all perceived threats, are also among Israel's service offerings.
