Tel Aviv – RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. is announcing that it has won a new contract with an Asian nation to provide comprehensive maintenance support services for operational systems employed by its navy.
The multi-year agreement is estimated at 100 million Shekels (30 million dollars) and will include maintenance services for the navy’s TYPHOON and MINI-TYPHOON remotely-controlled naval weapon stations, Naval SPIKE ER and NLOS missile systems, EO surveillance systems, as well as EW Integrated Decoy Systems (IDS).
The services will bolster the technological and operational cooperation between RAFAEL and the user and establish maintenance capabilities for additional systems.
In March 2023, RAFAEL announced it had signed a multi-year agreement with the Israeli Ministry of Defence to provide maintenance support services for dozens of TYPHOON remotely-controlled naval weapon stations (RCWS) in operational use by the Israeli Navy.
RAFAEL’s Naval Combat Suite is based on combat-proven technology and systems, relying on years of experience and deep operational know-how in various naval arenas and scenarios, and integrating combat-proven technologies in all domains. RAFAEL’s off-the-shelf, leading technologies and solutions, provide naval forces defense superiority in littoral and blue water against all modern naval threats above and below the waves.
RAFAEL’s TYPHOON family has set the standards for stabilized, remotely-controlled, small caliber, naval gun systems. The TYPHOON weapon system family has gained a worldwide reputation as the most reliable, effective and affordable weapon system in its class. RAFAEL has recently won major contract with another leading Asian navy for TYPHOON Mk30-c and mini-TYPHOON RCWS, which were also recently commissioned onboard FAIC-M / SHALDAG MK5 vessels in the Philippine navy as part of a complete RAFAEL combat suite.
SPIKE ER and NLOS are electro-optically guided multipurpose missiles for ranges of up to 10 and 32 km at sea, respectively, with pinpoint accuracy and midcourse navigation. Recently unveiled, RAFAEL’s 6th Generation NAVAL SPIKE NLOS missile delivers a number of groundbreaking capabilities, turning every OPV or patrol boat into a highly-effective combat vessel.
The IDS is an Integrated Decoy System that employs tactical confusion, distraction & seduction measures to create a complete defense suite that includes a controller, launchers and programmable decoys.
