Director's Message


 

The extensive range of today's defense and security challenges, expanding daily around the world, requires advanced technological responses and preparedness for tomorrow's threats. Creative, rapidly deployable, and operational solutions are needed to protect the homeland, its borders, and its defense forces against these varied threats.

Israel, which faces security issues daily, has developed some of these solutions—created by leading Israeli defense industries and based on the stringent requirements of the IDF and other security forces. The broad technological and operational experience acquired by the industry is applied to a wide range of applications and military capabilities that have proven effective both in defending Israel's infrastructure and citizens, as well as in precise ground and aerial strikes.

Cooperation between governments and industries with the Israeli defense industries enables the utilization of a vast body of knowledge, technological expertise, and unique capabilities. The accumulated know-how of these industries significantly enhances the ability of defense forces worldwide to contend with emerging and increasingly frequent threats.

SIBAT, the International Defense Cooperation Directorate of the Israel Ministry of Defense, is uniquely positioned at the crossroads of Israeli defense forces, the Israeli defense industry, and international partners. This positioning allows SIBAT to play a pivotal role in fostering international governmental, industrial, and business cooperation with Israeli defense industries. SIBAT facilitates and promotes international cooperation through a variety of services and expertise.

SIBAT's ability to tailor precise and effective solutions—based on deep knowledge, experience, and an understanding of both operational and technological environments—combined with its flexibility, creativity, and rapid response, defines its uniqueness and reflects the powerful capabilities of Israel's diverse defense industry.

It promotes international cooperation by identifying opportunities, locating relevant technological solutions for specific needs, establishing joint ventures, organizing official delegation visits, and creating Government-to-Government agreements, including operational experience sharing, knowledge transfer, and cooperation between local industries for joint production.

Through its network of professional MOD and defense attachés, stationed globally and within Israel, SIBAT maintains in-depth, up-to-date knowledge of global defense challenges, the operational needs of the Israel Defense Forces, and the capabilities of the Israeli defense industry.

We look forward to our future cooperation and long-term partnership.
