ARIEL Photonics Assembly develops lasers and laser electro-optical systems for defense. The company has developed laser solutions for systems that protect the country from land, sea, and aerial terrorist attacks. Among these is the CLOUD system, which deflects anti-tank guided missiles to protect tanks, personnel carriers, jeeps, bridges, posts, important military installations, and ships. ARIEL is engaged with most Israeli major defense integrators and has developed a laser module to deflect anti-tank guided missiles, as well as laser countermeasure solutions, laser illuminators, and threat simulators for terrestrial and avionic applications.
