IMI Systems solutions extend modern naval capabilities

TRIGON

The naval arena of today is facing new complicated challenges that require improved fire capabilities and enhanced level of contribution to multi-brunch military operations.

IMI System’s developed a wide range of maritime solutions in order to help its customers to better address the challenges they are facing.

With more than 8 decades of experience in the development of artillery solutions and as a sole supplier of solutions to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), IMI Systems is positioned among the world’s leading companies in the development and manufacturing of fire-support systems in general, and advanced artillery solutions in particular.

The advanced artillery missile solutions IMI Systems recently offered to the Polish Ministry of National Defense consists of its LYNX multiple-launch rocket and missile launchers along with other types of innovative artillery rockets which are based on a similar configuration as its ground solutions, hence allowing the flexibility of using the entire inventory in place for different applications.

Asymmetric model for enhancing ground capabilities

Ground forces can be quite limited when it comes to attacking strategic targets deep in the combat zone while required to stay unrevealed.

In order to achieve a more powerful and accurate fire power while avoiding exposure and still provide wide fire cover, combat forces can use the asymmetric model where maritime vessels carry the payload to the target through the open sea with the backup of ground forces for minimizing threats.

Using the asymmetric military methodology facilitates an effective solution with environmental considerations and improved results.
