The United States uses the Popeye on B-52 bombers. It is the only air-to-ground missile that can be retargeted after launch. Known as "the Popeye," this missile is used to destroy targets, such as concrete military bunkers, with exceptional precision from great distances. The Litening is also being purchased by the U.S. Air National Guard, a quarter of whose fleet cannot fly at night, has purchased the Litening to enhance the capabilities of its F-16s. The Litening is equipped with two cameras - one uses heat sensors to identify targets at night and during bad weather, while the second provides powerful images from long-range distances during the day. The Litening transforms older planes into round-the-clock fighters. Litening is a navigation and targeting device that enables aircraft to fly and target in bad weather and at night. During the 1982 Lebanon war, not a single Israeli tank equipped with these tiles was lost to enemy fire. The explosion destroys and repels the incoming missile before it penetrates the tank's main armor. The tiles overlay the tank's armor and have embedded explosives that detonate outward when hit by missiles. Reactive Armor Tilesĭeveloped by the IDF after the Yom Kippur War, these tiles protect tanks and the soldiers within them. This helmet-mounted display (HMD) system allows fighter pilots to target enemy aircraft by using a display within their helmet to guide the missiles at the target they are looking at rather than having to maneuver their aircraft into an attack position. Earlier unpowered glider versions of the ITALD were used extensively during the initial stages of the Gulf War and in Bosnia. TALD's are used to confuse enemy radar and draw the fire away from piloted aircraft so they can perform their missions under "safer" conditions. Jet powered, unpiloted decoys look and maneuver like an airplance.
Army approved the Skystar 180 for purchase in March 2015, after a unit successfully completed the Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiment ADM-141 TALD (Improved Tactical Air Launched Decoy) Israeli police have used these balloons and previous models to control riots and provide intel during times of conflict. The Skystar 180 system is simple and intuitive, and can be fully operated by only two people. Skystar 180's can provide surveillance for up to 1,000 square feet on one tank of helium, which lasts for approximately 72 hours. Surveillance balloon manufactured for tactical surveillance, public safety, police, and military activities. This will allow the soldiers to acquire and dispatch targets from their concealed positions, significantly lessening the potential impact of a mistake and keeping the soldiers safe. The new systems will assist Marines in concealed positions with imaging, range-finding, and and navigation through combat areas. Israel's Elbit Systems was awarded a $73.4 million, 15 year contract from the US Marine Corps in March 2015 to supply them with new laser systems. The Iron Fist Light Configuration can jam the GPS systems of incoming projectiles causing them to malfunction and fall to the ground, and can also deploy interceptors that destroy incoming objects with a shock wave. The system uses a complex network of radar and electro-optics to detect and neutralize a broad range of missiles and other objects. Army chose to purchase the Iron Fist Light Configuration active protection system for it's armored personnel carriers in June 2015, developed by Israel Military Industries. This delivery culminates a multi-year effort by the Army to study and rapidly field active protection due to the urgency of the threat and the growing need for improved ground vehicle survivability. Army for installation on Abrams battle tanks. Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and U.S.-based defense contractor Leonardo DRS announced On January 6, 2021, they completed delivery of Trophy Active Protection Systems ordered by the U.S. DRS Technologies and Israeli-based Rafael Advanced Defense Systems are working with the army to integrate the system that Israel developed after realizing that tanks could not be given more armor without greatly minimizing their maneuverability and deployability. Trophy is an Active Protection System (APS) that uses a 360-degree radar, processor and on-board computer to locate, track and destroy approaching fire coming from a range of weapons such as Anti-Tank-Guided-Missiles and Rocket Propelled Grenades. The Army has purchased an emerging technology for Abrams tanks, Bradleys and Strykers designed to give combat vehicles an opportunity identify, track and destroy approaching enemy rocket-propelled grenades in a matter of milliseconds.
The following are examples used by the U.S. Israel has developed some of the world’s most sophisticated weapons and technology, some jointly with the United States. Table of Contents| Evolution of Alliance| Arrow Program
