The U.S. Army Eyes Israel’s Fire Weaver Sensor-to-Shooter System If bought, this weapon would join a host of other high-tech Israeli systems being used by the U.S. military. The U.S. Army got to take a look at Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Fire Weaver, an advanced sensor-to-shooter system. It is part of Rafael’s unique technology that is supposed to improve the new digital battlefield by incorporating the latest artificial intelligence to help armies make better decisions. It also uses 3D terrain data. The U.S. Army checked out the system as part of an operational assessment at the Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiment in Fort Benning, Georgia. Fire Weaver is made available by Rafael in Israel and its U.S. subsidiary. Like many Israeli defense giants, Rafael seeks to have either joint ventures or a U.S. subsidiary in order to play a greater role in offering its unique military technology to America. Rafael delivered two Iron Dome batteries to the U.S. Army over the last year and is making the Iron Dome with Raytheon. Rafael also makes the Trophy active protection system for U.S. Abrams tanks. That system is now celebrating a decade of success defending tanks against anti-tank guided missiles and other threats.
