An electronic warfare-saturated battlefield is upon us, Omer Sharar, co-founder and CEO of infiniDome, told Breaking Defense, and small drones and munitions are going to need protection.
The total amount of the deal will be worth more than $2.3 billion, according to an official statement.

Israeli firm Rafael will show off three different laser defenses at Le Bourget.
A senior official said the sales reflect "more than anything else the growing global appreciation for Israeli technology's proven capabilities."
“Using computer vision, artificial intelligence, and advanced tracking algorithms, it enables Soldiers to detect, track, and precisely eliminate aerial and ground targets with unmatched accuracy,” Smartshooter says.
Israel Defense Minister Israel Katz said that the new lasers will “change the rules of the game in the region — our enemies should fear, not only the capabilities we have already developed, but the capabilities we are developing now."
"As part of the project, IAF helicopters will be equipped with innovative technologies designed to ensure maximum protection in complex combat scenarios, including systems for identifying, disrupting, and neutralizing threats and systems for deflecting guided missiles," the Israeli Ministry of Defense noted.
At Greece's DEFEA conference, Israeli firms were a notable presence.
In addition to C-DOME and the Typhoon gun, which are both kinetic interceptors, Rafael is looking to sell its Iron Beam laser weapon to navies around the world.
