These satellites, which will be launched starting in 2018, will provide end users with exceptional performance. The observation satellites of their types cover large areas in the mapping of the earth and provide images (images) day and night and in difficult visibility conditions (weather conditions, dust clouds, etc.) in military, commercial and civilian fields.
The Aerospace Industry is currently building a number of electro-optical and radar observation satellites. In the development of the innovative satellites, the knowledge acquired, the established experience and the advanced technology accumulated by the aerospace industry during 30 years of leadership in the field of space were invested. These satellites, which will be launched starting in 2018, will provide end users with exceptional performance. The observation satellites of their types cover large areas in the mapping of the earth and provide images (images) day and night and in difficult visibility conditions (weather conditions, dust clouds, etc.) in military, commercial and civilian fields. The observation satellites of the aerospace industry are world leaders in terms of performance for price and weight.
One of the satellites under construction is Eros C, a commercial satellite that will be supplied to the Israeli ISI company ImageSat International) and will join the Eros satellite family in 2018. Eros C weighing less than 400 kilos, will allow ISI to offer its customers high-resolution imaging, increased coverage and improved accuracies.
A TECSAR type radar satellite is also currently being built at the company's facilities. TECSAR is the first satellite of its kind developed in Israel, and is among the most advanced in the world. Since the launch of the first generation in 2008, changes and improvements have been introduced and today, it is a satellite with an extremely high resolution with excellent maneuverability, thanks to its low weight. The satellite enables a wide variety of tactical intelligence gathering missions.
OPTSAT3000 is also produced these days by the aerospace industry - an observation satellite that will provide images with a resolution better than 40 cm and will allow great operational flexibility.
Yossi Weiss, CEO of IAI: "These satellites join a select list of satellites that were developed, manufactured, launched and operated by IAI. We are very proud to lead in the field of advanced observation satellites and work diligently to maintain this strategic position and offer satellites with excellent performance at an excellent price. This is further evidence of the unique technological and engineering capabilities of the aerospace industry."
Eros C, OPTSAT3000 and the TECSAR satellite join satellites such as Amos 6, the Italian OPTSAT 3000 and the "Venus" research satellite which are being built for the Israeli Space Agency (ISA) and the French Space Agency (CNES).
Soon an interview I conducted at the Aerospace Industry Pavilion at the IAC conference

Sounds like a lot of the same. Electro-optical and electromagnetic satellites (radar) that see in the dark and in poor visibility conditions with a resolution of 40 cm. I don't underestimate it, foreign minister: we need it in light of the friends in our neighborhood, including Russia.
There is innovation in the defense industry and you should present it within the limits of secrecy. For example, the innovation of the Nora missile from a tank, Nautilus, Arrow 3.
Stunning!
