Meet New AOC Institute/University Member
The NEWRSC was established in 1973, shortly before the Yom-Kippur war, and was almost immediately tasked with the exploitation of the formidable SA-6 Surface to Air Missile System and with the development of EW techniques against this relatively unknown threat. This research, as well as the research of other adversary systems, led in the following years to the development of unique EW capabilities which contributed to the unprecedented operational successes of the air campaign of the 1982 Lebanon war. Since that time, the NEWRSC has been involved in almost every aspect of Israeli Electronic and Information Warfare. It works in close cooperation with all the forces of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) – Air, Land, Sea and C4I. This cooperation involves daily interaction with technical, intelligence and operational military branches. The threat exploitation efforts and EW research are related to a wide spectrum of applications – SAM, AAM, ASM, ATGM, C4I, and deal with both RF and EO/IR systems. The NEWRSC also works closely with the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD) and specifically the Directorate for Defense Research and Development (DDRD). This work is aimed at the development and evaluation of new conceptual designs of EW/IW. Although the NEWRSC is part of RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems LTD it is designated as a national center of excellence and is committed to objective evaluation and support of system development efforts for all of the defense industry. Unique facilities, including HIL simulators, field test equipment and advanced laboratories, were developed and are used to support many EW projects. The world renowned achievements of the Israeli EW industry can be credited, to a large extent, to NEWRSC support. |
