15 Israeli defense companies are expected to participate in the Aero India 2015 air show scheduled to open today in Bangalore, India. Many foreign companies will display their latest developments in Aero India, which is considered one of the most prestigious air shows in the world. The Israeli pavilion is expected to attract a great deal of attention, among other things due to the tight cooperation between the security authorities in India and Israeli companies, reflected in deals and cooperation amounting to billions of dollars in recent years.
Some of the products to be displayed in the exhibition were used by the IDF in the Gaza Strip last summer during Operation Protective Edge. Sources in the defense companies believe this fact is likely to generate great interest among procurement representatives of many armies around the world. Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. plans to display its C-Dome naval defense system, based on the Iron Dome system.
C-Dome is an interception system designed to provide 360-degree protection against existing and future threats to vessels and oil and gas drilling platforms. It can intercept a number of threats simultaneously, such as attack warplanes and missiles aimed at vessels or platforms. The system uses the same Tamir missile interceptors used in Iron Dome. Rafael says that owing to its small size, the defense system can be installed on both large and small warships, and on patrol boats. The water resistant containers used to store the interceptors require no maintenance.
