ISRAEL - Robotic System Transforms Warfare

Israel-based defense company Plasan recently introduced the All-Terrain Electric Mission Module (ATeMM), a cutting-edge system designed to enhance military mobility and efficiency. The system supports a wide range of battlefield applications, including logistics, energy, munitions, and sensors.

By integrating ATeMM with a lead vehicle, military units can significantly reduce the number of trucks and drivers required for a mission. A 4×4 can instantly transform into a 6×6 or even an 8×8, increasing payload capacity while maintaining maneuverability.

“We want to decrease the number of drivers and vehicles,” [Plasan marketing vice president Gilad Ariav] stressed.

Beyond reducing manpower, ATeMM can also operate independently. It can be detached from the lead vehicle and remotely controlled in the field, effectively transforming into an autonomous robotic unit.

What’s striking is that this cutting-edge military technology was developed in Israel’s periphery—on Kibbutz Sasa in northern Galilee. Plasan also operates a subsidiary in nearby Dalton.

“Our slogan is protecting those who protect us,” said Ariav. “That’s what we do.”

Designed specifically for Afghanistan’s rough terrain, the M-ATV is a highly mobile armored vehicle built to withstand roadside bombs and other threats. Plasan’s armor system was engineered to absorb and deflect blast energy from mines or explosives.”

Ariav said Plasan developed these armor kits in less than a year—a rapid turnaround that, he believes, ultimately saved thousands of American soldiers’ lives.

Commentary: Defense, in its true sense, is Israel’s main concern. Countries surrounding it have experienced Israel’s technological superiority. Egypt and Jordan have signed peace treaties.

When it comes to defense in the sky, Israel is unmatched. Subsequently, it has been able to become the most preferred supplier for other countries. For example, Serbia has signed a $1.63 billion contract with Israel’s Elbit for weapons systems.

In the meantime, we are in the dispensation of Joel 3:10: “Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.” That, however, is not the end, because the prophet Micah declares: “And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more” (Micah 4:3).
