Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is worked up to unveil the Rex MK II, the most recent unmanned land platform, supposed to maintain troops out of harms manner in complicated circumstances. The Rex MK II, already bought to clients worldwide, is an unmanned land automobile tailored to a spread of floor missions with superior maneuverability and talent to hold a load of 1.3 tons. The brand new hybrid electrical platform, all-wheel drive, helps fight forces in gathering intelligence, offering logistical help, and helps execute distant assaults. The automobile is land-based, autonomous with command-and-control capabilities, or by a single operator by way of wi-fi communication. The system will likely be introduced on the DSEI exhibition in London.
Zvika Yarom, GM Land Division of IAI, stated: “The necessity to help floor forces within the discipline to hold out varied missions whereas minimizing threats to troopers’ lives is on the coronary heart of our values right here at Israel Aerospace Industries. This technique relies on harnessing our a long time lengthy expertise with UAVs, to implement on the planet of land autos. IAI’s unmanned land platforms are in use working alongside Israel’s borders and in several preventing items in addition to in different places all over the world. We’re experiencing an increase in demand from purchasers for unmanned land platforms.”

The multi-mission Rex MK II is meant to help infantry floor forces in varied phases of preventing. This consists of offering logistical help to troops by carrying munition provides, essential medical tools, water, and meals, in addition to evacuating injured personnel on stretchers. The system may also collect intelligence by way of a situation-awareness system that comes with electro-optical sensors and radar. The Rex MK II additionally allows conducting assaults through the use of remotely managed weapons methods together with a 7.62mm machine gun, a cal 0.50 heavy machine gun, and as a multi-mission multi-purpose platform to help further missions based mostly on troops wants.
IAI’s Land Division idea is constructed on three ideas: 1. situational consciousness, 2. Survivability, and three. lethality. With the usage of superior applied sciences, our methods can acknowledge threats, make use of lively and passive defence measures, and helps the “sensor-to-shooter loops” in real-time and in an autonomous method (urgent the set off by a soldier). IAI’s ELTA group, Israel’s radar and intelligence home, is creating groundbreaking strategic methods comparable to mission plane, nationwide cyber arrays, unmanned and robotic land platforms, UAV defence, homeland safety methods and extra.
The brand new Rex MK II joins different operational unmanned platforms developed by IAI together with the Jaguar, an unmanned land platform for defending borders, gathering intelligence and finishing up assaults; the RobARC, an operational unmanned platform for uncovering and destroying floor stage and subterranean explosive units; the Robattle – a robotic operational land platform with excessive maneuverability, finishing up complicated missions in troublesome circumstances, rapidly and safely; the RobDozer – an unmanned bulldozer supposed to hold out complicated navy engineering at risk zones.
Israel Aerospace Industries or IAI is Israel’s main aerospace and aviation producer, producing aerial and astronautic methods for each navy and civilian utilization. It has 15,000 workers as of 2018. IAI is totally state-owned by the federal government of Israel. Many of those merchandise are specifically suited to the Israel Protection Forces (IDF) wants, whereas others are additionally marketed to overseas militaries. IAI designs, develops, produces and maintains civil plane, drones, fighter plane, missile, avionics, and space-based methods. Though IAI’s predominant focus is engineering, aviation and high-tech electronics, it additionally manufactures navy methods for floor and naval forces.
