Mega-deal worth NIS 600 million: IDF prepares for induction of the "Haroem" future cannon

In depth

The Ministry of Defense and the IDF signed a long-term agreement with Elbit Systems for a period of 15 years. The value of the deal is estimated at approximately NIS 600 million, and it is intended to establish an advanced training and instruction facility for the Artillery Corps. The new facility will include technological training infrastructure, simulators, training services and advanced maintenance infrastructure.

The dedicated facility and new center will be used to train commanders and soldiers ahead of the induction of the "Haroem" future cannon and the "Lahav" rocket launcher system. Both systems are manufactured by Elbit, and the advanced "Haroem" cannon is expected to soon replace the veteran "Dohor" cannon in the Artillery Corps.

The contract signed between the Ministry of Defense, the IDF and Elbit also includes maintenance services, logistical support and technological operation throughout the term of the agreement. The move is intended to significantly improve the training of soldiers and commanders, shorten certification times and save budgetary costs through simulators and advanced technological infrastructure.
