Israel’s multi-caliber precision rocket launcher — a wheeled, pod-based system that spans 12 km to 300 km with a single vehicle and has become Europe’s leading non-US alternative to HIMARS.
Israel's heaviest operational MALE UAV — a turboprop-powered, satellite-linked strategic surveillance and strike platform with 30-plus-hour endurance, now also flown by Germany in NATO missions.
Israel's workhorse multi-role MALE UAS — 36-hour endurance, multi-sensor ISR, and a broad export footprint from Switzerland to Singapore, with a growing combat record over Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.
Israel's mobile, quick-reaction surface-to-air missile family built around Python-5 and Derby interceptors, spanning short-range slant-launch to extended-range vertical-launch and a single-vehicle All-in-One variant, now featuring a counter-tactical-ballistic-missile option.
Israel's modular, multi-layer air and missile defense system — a single battle-management core that mixes short-, medium- and long-range interceptors for land and naval deployments, now combat-proven and rapidly expanding its export footprint.
Israel's long-range precision strike missile — a theater quasi-ballistic system launched from mobile ground launchers, ships, or fighters, delivering a 570 kg warhead with 10-meter accuracy up to 430 km.
Israel's supersonic stand-off missile — a low-cost, quasi-ballistic strike weapon derived from the EXTRA artillery rocket that lets fighters engage high-value fixed targets from outside enemy air defenses.
Israel's GPS-independent electro-optical bomb kit and glide-weapon family — a scene-matching system that converts unguided bombs into precision stand-off munitions, proven from Balakot to Tehran.
Israel Aerospace Industries' canister-launched, man-in-the-loop loitering munition — built to hunt and kill air defenses, high-value targets and radars after hours of silent search.
Israel's multi-platform electro-optical anti-tank and precision-strike missile family — from the shoulder-fired Spike SR to the 50 km helicopter-launched Spike NLOS, the most-exported Western ATGM, in service with 39 nations.
Israel's Dolphin-class submarines — German-built diesel-electric attack boats with air-independent propulsion, a reported nuclear second-strike role, and a history wrapped in operational secrecy that only occasionally lifts.
The Sa'ar 6 Magen class consists of four multi-mission corvettes built for the Israeli Navy to defend offshore gas fields and shipping lanes, armed with Barak-8 area-defense missiles and the shipborne C-Dome point-defense system, and recently employed in long-range strikes against the Houthis.
Israel’s Trophy (Windbreaker) — the world’s most combat-proven hard-kill active protection system, first to intercept an anti-tank missile in combat, now fielded on Merkava, Abrams, Leopard 2 and Challenger 3.
Israel's survivability-first main battle tank — engine-forward architecture, rear-crew-exit, and the combat-proven Trophy active protection system, continuously upgraded since 2003 into the AI-enabled Barak standard.
Israel's uniquely modified F-35A Adir — the world's most combat-tested fifth-generation fighter, spearheading long-range strikes against Iran with sovereign C4/EW capabilities and zero airframe losses.
Israel's mid-tier mobile air and missile defense system — a hit-to-kill interceptor designed to defeat short-range ballistic missiles, large rockets, cruise missiles and aircraft, sitting between Iron Dome and the Arrow family and increasingly central to Israel's layered shield.
Israel’s first operational high-power laser air-defense system — a 100 kW directed-energy weapon designed to intercept rockets, mortar bombs and drones at a fraction of the cost of kinetic interceptors, now woven into the Iron Dome network.
Israel's battle-proven mobile system for intercepting short-range rockets, artillery shells, and drones — the bottom tier of a multi-layered air defense network, now also fielded by the US Marine Corps as MRIC.
Israel's exoatmospheric hit-to-kill ballistic missile interceptor, jointly developed with the U.S., combat-proven against Houthi and Iranian missiles, and now fielded by Germany as the first European upper-tier system.

Iran's first ballistic strike since April aimed at two of Israel's main air bases; the IDF claims a clean intercept, and the exchange now sits on top of the US-Iran talks.
Uvision's new CORTEX software puts one operator in charge of many loitering munitions at once, a bid to own the command layer over the swarm rather than just the munition.
Motorola is paying $1.5 billion for a counter-drone firm whose RF takeover seizes a drone's control link, the same link Ukraine's fiber-optic drones are built to fly without.
