In depth

The Euronaval naval arms exhibition opened in Paris, with Israeli companies presenting defense systems only. According to N12, more than 700 companies from around the world are taking part in the exhibition.

According to Calcalist, the restriction on Israeli participation stems from a French decision, and in Israel it is claimed that commercial considerations and an attempt to favor French industries are also involved. According to N12, Elbit is unveiling an unmanned submersible vehicle, Israel Aerospace Industries is presenting the BlueWhale submarine, and Rafael is unveiling a naval defense system combining missiles, laser and electronic warfare.

According to Maariv, Rafael is presenting a multi-layered naval defense system that combines a naval Iron Dome, a laser system and electronic warfare.
