Magos Systems Wins NIS 21 Million Israel Radar Deal for Hundreds of Drone Detectors

Summary
Hundreds of Magos radar systems will be supplied to Israel's Defense Ministry under a contract worth about NIS 21 million, the company said Monday.
The order follows Magos' launch of a new AI-powered platform built over two years to detect and classify threats including fiber-optic-guided drones, with early-warning and battlefield-awareness functions.
Israel's demand has risen as Hezbollah's fiber-optic-guided drones from Lebanon have posed a growing challenge, mirroring a wider military shift as drones shape attacks, reconnaissance and fire direction.
Magos said the system has been extensively evaluated by Israeli and overseas customers, outperformed some pricier rivals, and is now being rolled out internationally.
More broadly, the company says it has deployed thousands of radar systems in more than 70 countries across military, government and critical-infrastructure sites.

Israel Deploys Hundreds of Magos Radars in NIS 21 Million Push Against Hezbollah Drone Attacks
Overview
Israel's Ministry of Defense has signed a NIS 21 million contract with Magos Systems to deploy hundreds of advanced drone detection radars along the Lebanese border. This urgent move comes as Hezbollah's persistent and sophisticated drone attacks have exposed major gaps in Israel’s defenses, challenging its air superiority and causing fear among ground troops. Existing systems have proven insufficient, making early warning and detection for ground forces a top priority. The new Magos radars aim to address these vulnerabilities, providing a strategic response to the escalating drone threat and helping restore confidence in Israel’s border security.
