  • Tightening the Belt and Introspection – Preparing for the Cut in Shekel Aid
    Tightening the Belt and Introspection – Preparing for the Cut in Shekel Aid Saul Bronfeld “The Israeli Navy was always hampered by limited budgets, but achieved smart solutions… It resembles a painter, a poet – [who] creates his greatest art only on an empty stomach.” Brigadier General (ret.) Shabtai Levy1 Introduction The conference at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv on the subject of the defense industries2 can be summarized in two sentences: first, the defense industries are very important to the IDF, the economy, and the country’s outlying areas; and second, a reduction of the shekel component in US aid will have a severe negative impact on Israel’s security, the economy, and the local defense industries. Echoing these statements, most of the speakers at the conference concurred that the reduction in shekel aid was another reason to increase the defense budget for local procurement, and the sooner the better. Brigadier General (res.) Prof. Jacob Nagel, who led the drawn-out negotiations with the American authorities, was the only speaker who argued that the reduction in the shekel aid budget should also prompt some self-reflection on the part of the defense establishment. To illustrate his remarks, he recalled the collapse of Kodak, which failed to identify in advance the changing environment in which it operated. Saul (Sam) Bronfeld is a research fellow at the Dado Center for Interdisciplinary Military Studies, IDF Operations Directorate. Israel’s Defense Industry and US Security Aid 95 Sasson Hadad, Tomer Fadlon, and Shmuel Even, Editors 96 I Saul Bronfeld This article follows Nagel’s argument, and points to a matter that was not raised, but that should be before the budget is reshuffled to deal with an emerging defense-economic problem.

  • Arrival of Sa'ar 6 Ships Marks Evolution of Israeli Naval Doctrine
    Arrival of Sa’ar 6 Ships Marks Evolution of Israeli Naval Doctrine by Yaakov Lappin BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 1,893, January 19, 2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The docking of the first of four German-made Sa’ar 6-class Israel Navy warships (dubbed Magen) at Haifa Naval Base marks the arrival of an advanced sea platform that will give Israel new capabilities to defend its critical offshore energy resources against a growing array of precision-guided enemy weaponry. The INS Magen, a German-made Sa’ar 6-class warship, arrived at Haifa Naval Base in early December 2020. It will be joined by the INS Oz in July of this year, and INS Atzmaut and INS Nitzhahon are scheduled to arrive in September and November. The ships are constructed by the German shipbuilder Thyssenkrupp, and the design of the platforms was conducted in close collaboration with Israel Navy engineers. Each platform costs $400 million to produce, with the German government covering one-third of the cost. Israeli onboard combat systems will be installed after the warships arrive in Israel. Ninety-five percent of those systems will be Israeli-made, and many of them will be completely new, designed for today’s threats. The arrival of the Magen at Haifa Naval Base marked the Israeli Navy’s transition into a new combat doctrine that is better suited than its predecessor to the evolving regional threat. Under the new strategy, the Navy will play a significantly greater role in rapidly detecting and engaging enemy targets on shore. The Magen project therefore represents a leap forward in Israel’s naval defense capabilities and an evolved naval strategy concept designed for the 21st century threat landscape.

  • ENGINEERING STATEMENT This Engineering Statement Is Prepared
    ENGINEERING STATEMENT This engineering statement is prepared on behalf of Media-Com Television, Inc., licensee of Low Power TV Station WAOH-LP - Akron, Ohio, in support of comments in MM Docket 87-268, the DTV allotment proceeding. WAOH-LP operates on Channel 29 with a maximum peak visual effective radiated power of 60.6 kilowatts utilizing a direc- tional antenna. The draft table of DTV allotments contained in the Sixth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in MM Docket 87-268 proposes to allot Channel 29 to Youngstown, Ohio, as a DTV allotment for use by WKBN-TV, whose present NTSC operation is on Channel 27. The WAOH-LP transmitter site lies 21.3 kilometers inside the predicted 43.8 dBu noise limited contour for the proposed DTV operation of WKBN- TV on Channel 29. Thus, it is obvious that continued operation by WAOH-LP on Chan- nel 29 would cause interference to the DTV operation of WKBN-TV proposed in this draft table, since it is impossible to provide the required protection to a cochannel facil- ity, either DTV or NTSC, from a transmitter site located within its protected contour. The WAOH-LP transmitter site also lies within the predicted noise limited contours of the DTV facilities proposed in this draft table for three other stations for which DTV channels have been proposed which could possibly receive interference from the pres- ent operation of WAOH-LP: WQHS-TV Cleveland,OH Channel 28 WBNX-TV Akron,OH Channel 31 WFMJ-TV Youngstown,OH Channel 36 Based upon the DTV system performance capabilities outlined in Appendix A of this Sixth Further Notice, however, it appears extremely unlikely that the present operation of WAOH-LP would result in actual interference to the DTV operations proposed in this ---- CARL E.

  • The Israeli Navy's Strategic Challenges in the 21 St Century
    From Junior Associate to Senior Partner? The Israeli Navy’s Strategic Challenges in the 21st Century by Dr. Eitan Shamir BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 1,792, November 1, 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Israel depends on the Mediterranean Sea, and the Israeli Navy bears overall responsibility for safeguarding the country’s strategic, security, and economic assets in and around its territorial waters. For various historical reasons, the Israeli Navy was not originally given the priority afforded to its two brethren services: the ground and air forces. Recent geostrategic trends have altered the security situation of the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean, however, and this has affected the nature of the threats to Israel's national security. These developments have led to an increasingly important role for the Israeli Navy in securing Israel's national interests. Israel is surrounded on three sides: it has countries to the north, south, and east. Its independence, economy, and security—indeed, its very existence— depends on the Mediterranean Sea. Half the country’s residents live fewer than 30 kilometers from the coastline, and over 98% of Israel’s foreign trade is transported by sea. The Israeli Navy (IN) bears overall responsibility for safeguarding Israel’s strategic, security, and economic assets along the coastline and close to it, as well as farther out to sea in its territorial waters and in its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The IN is also responsible for protecting sea lanes to and from Israel, securing maritime transportation and trade, combating marine terrorism, and assisting the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in combat.

  • Symbolism in the Israel Defense Forces: a Brief Overview
    Symbolism in the Israel Defense Forces: A Brief Overview Zvi Ruder Introduction The Israeli Armed Forces (known as the IDF, or by its Hebrew acronym: ZAHAL) are a great “mixer” of the Israeli society. In this “mixer,” Israel’s different social, ethnic, and political strata are blended and ground together, into a specific Israeli culture. Unavoidably, the resulting mixture reflects important features of this culture, of which the unique Israeli symbolism is a part, both in the historical and religious profoundness of its meaning and in the eclecticism of its elements. The eclectic nature of the IDF symbolism manifests itself in the fact that, just like the rest of the Israeli state and society, it employs three types of symbolic graphic devices that are only loosely related to each other outside the framework of modern Zionist ideology. This Zionist ideology remains, at least officially, a spiritual foundation and the raison d’etreˆ of the State of Israel; however, as is shown in this article, it is not the sole contributor of symbols in Israel in general, and only a relatively minor one in the Israel Defense Forces in particular. The three types of symbols currently in use in the Israel Defense Forces are: 1. Symbols related to the Hebrew Bible (i.e. the five books of Moses called in Hebrew the Torah) and the millennia-old Hebrew and Jewish tradition, especially those associated with the Land of Israel and the period of ancient Hebrew independence. 2. Symbols that reflect Zionist ideology and represent the Zionist move- ment, especially those based on emblems of organizations and institu- tions which conducted the struggle for Israel’s independence before the establishment of the State of Israel in a.d.
