IMI System presents at the 4th international Fire Conference
to be held at the “Beit Htotchan” in Zikron Ya’akov
at the sponsorship of “Israel Defense”
IMI Systems presents at the 4th International Fire Conference varied combat
solutions and weapon systems which were developed for the IDF and for advanced
militaries around the world.
Ramat HaSharon, Israel, September 25, 2016 – IMI Systems announced today that it will presentat
the fire conference a variety of precise rockets with ranges between 15 km and 300 km.
IMI Systems specializeses in the development and production of advanced weapons systems and
defense technologies, including multipurpose precision munitions systems to cover the entire
combat space: precise mortar, accurate rockets and missiles for ground forces, advanced
armament systems for air forces and innovative fire systems for naval forces as well as multifunctional autonomous rockets launchers and infantry mobility systems.
ACCULAR - A precision rocket with the range of 40 km designed to assist maneuvering
forces
The rocket can accurately and effectively hit artillery targets that cannot be neutralized via
traditional artillery.
The 40 km (25 miles) range Accular offers an accuracy level of 10 meters CEP. Developed by the
IMI Systems’ “Givon” factory the 3 meters length rocket has 122 mm caliber and can carry a
warhead for penetration or field purposes.
EXTRA - An accurate rocket with the range of 150 km
Equipped with a variety of combat warheads designed to destruct buildings, armored
vehicles and field targets
According to IMI Systems the highly accurate 150 km range rocket demonstrates an outstanding
accuracy level of approximately 10 meters CEP even at the far end of its range.
Developed by the IMI Systems’ “Givon” factory the 300 mm caliber and 4 meters length rocket can
carry a variety of warheads at the weight of 120 kg.
PREDATOR HAWK - A precision rocket with a range of 300 km
A rocket designed to ground forces to strike targets deep in the combat zone.
The “Predator Hawk” is a 300 km range rocket with an accuracy level of 10 meters CEP.
Developed by the IMI Systems’ “Givon” factory the 370 mm caliber and 5 meters length rocket can
carry a variety warhead weighing 200 kg.
“LYNX - The Crusher" - autonomous multipurpose launcher
IMI Systems developed the “Crusher” - a multipurpose weapon system designed to launch various
kinds of rockets for attacking targets across the combat zone. The “Crusher” system is capable of
firing a wide range of rocket munitions, from a 122 mm caliber with the range of up to 40 km rocket
to the 370 mm caliber “Predator Hawk” rocket with the range of 300 km at an exceptionally high
precision rate of less than 10 meters CEP.
The technological and operational advantages of LYNX - ready to fire within a minute of operation
and the ability of reloading the system with new rockets in a short time of only 10 minutes after
firing – the system enables full availability in every weather condition.
The ability to place LYNX on wheeled all-terrain vehicles allow to rapidly change position according
to operational needs, threats and required tasks.
Equipped with a built-in precise navigation system which incorporate GPS systems, LYNX is a
power multiplier for ground forces thanks to its ability to perform accurate fire support missions and
a quick and effective of maneuvering forces' close-medium range tasks, as well as long-range
tasks that until now could performed only by the Air Force, if at all.
CDMS - An innovative coasts and islands’ protection system
A unique, innovative coastal defense system aimed to protect coasts and land-based strategic
spaces. The CDMS (Coast Defense Missiles System) provides a complete solution for protecting
sites located by the shore, islands and economic water and is designed to detect and attack
targets at sea and along the seashores.
CDMS’ advantages reflect in its rapid deployment, simple operation, high efficiency in long- range,
launched armament accuracy in striking targets and mainly in its attractive price comparing to other
alternatives. The system uses the improved EXTRA and ACCULAR missiles, which during recent
years have proved outstanding performance and a very high level of precision.
The missiles in system are equipped with a rocket engine and can fly at the speed of several Mach
allowing an extremely fast target’s attack as well as the use of several missiles simultaneously.
Thanks to the missiles’ maneuverability the system’s operators can attack and hit targets in motion
at a very high accuracy rate.
The system offers a total solution for operational problem, from sensors which provid maritime
picture, through remote control mobile or static launchers and accurate missiles for 40 to 150
ranges targets.
The CDMA components are linked in a dedicated command and control system which enables to
analyze threats image in real-time, take decisions of attacking targets and remotely attack without
the intervention of fire or guided missile operators after launching. The system allows simultaneous
attack of land static targets and vessels in motion while using versatile missiles suitable for a
variety of tasks.
Each system component - mobile or static launchers, command and control systems, radars, etc.,
provides the system with a flexible and versatile configuration that can be easily adjusted in
accordance with various requirements of different customers.
It should be noted that the system stands alone and is completely independent in performing tasks.
In addition, the system can be simply integrated with any sensor or existing command and control
system which are already in use by the armies which have purchased it. Such combination is a
power multiplier, both for system-based attacking abilities as well as for the increased extraction of
existing capabilities available to customers.
Recently the IMI Systems’ “Spear” approved for operational use:
“Spear” (Romach) - An advanced IMI Systems’ rocket - Recently approved for operational
use by the IDF’s Artillery Corps.
During the recent months the advanced artillery business unit of IMI Systems developed
and delivered the “Spear” rocket for the advanced artillery rocketing systems of the
Artillery Corps.
The Spear is a one of its kind in the world precise rocket with an accuracy of less than 10 meters
CEP, designed to destroy targets in both deep in the battlefield zone as well as provide close
assistance for the maneuvering forces.
The rocket's comparative advantage is in its high operational availability, ability to attack in every
weather conditions and simple operation. The high rate of accuracy of the rocket achieved through
a unique technology developed by IMI systems in recent years and delivered to additional
customers as well.
During the development stages, a large number of experiments took place and dozens of rockets
were fired and accurately hit the targets as required.
The “Spear” system is a significant force multiplier for the IDF and the Artillery Corps.
M454 S-HE (Super High-Explosive) 155 mm projectile
IMI systems developed an innovative artillery projectile designed to improve operational
effectiveness and maximize area coverage.
As part of the its expertise in weapons platforms and systems’ upgrading, IMI systems has
developed an innovative 155 mm artillery projectile - M454 S-HE (Super High-Explosive).
This projectile’s uniqueness, which is being presented today at the Fire Conference – reflects in its
vested abilities to cover a broad area, abilities that are not available in a standard explosive
projectile, which statistically harms the target environment. The self-destruct mechanism installed
in the shell designed to prevent duds that could jeopardize the armed forces or bystanders in the
area after the fighting, in accordance with the international conventions for fighting in non-military
area.
A parachuted warhead installed in the shell includes an effective fragmentation casing and a large
quantity of explosives. In a pre-calculated point in the air or according to the shell’s actual location,
the warhead ejected and falls towards the goal. The warhead is being launched in a precisely
defined height above the target, thereby achieving increased damage effect. This concept allows
creating a five times larger killing area than the standard explosive munitions.
This development combines a broad area coverage and compliance with international conventions
(Oslo Convention) of non-use of cluster munition.
