Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) has garnered significant interest in its 'Arbel System', a mini-computer that enhances rifles and light machine guns for targeting drones, with at least 10 countries exploring its acquisition amid rising anti-drone needs due to the Ukraine conflict. IWI anticipates that by 2026, 40 to 50 percent of European nations will adopt the system, which will be produced in India as part of the Make in India initiative. The lightweight design of the Arbel System allows for seamless integration with existing firearms, offering a cost-effective solution for modern military challenges.
