Israel Asks Imco Group to Provide Critical Systems for Armored Personal Carriers

Israel's Ministry of Defense has signed an agreement with local company Imco Group to provide critical systems for its fleet of Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs).

The agreement, valued at approximately NIS 376 million ($101 million) over multiple years, marks the largest deal to date between the Ministry of Defense and Imco Group.

This agreement follows lessons learned from the 'Iron Swords' conflict and supports the Ministry's priority to strengthen ground forces and enhance anti-tank capabilities under the leadership of Colonel (Ret.) Eyal Zamir, the Director General of the Ministry of Defense, the ministry said in an official release on May 5.

The contract will cover the next four years and focuses on supplying critical systems and sub-systems for the Israeli Defense Forces' (IDF) fleet of armored vehicles, including the Merkava tank, Tiger, and Eitan APCs (Armored Personnel Carriers).

Imco Group, through its defense division comprising subsidiaries Nir Or, Imco Projects, and ADTI in the USA, will deliver comprehensive electrical kits to the Ministry's Directorate of Chariots and Motor Vehicles. These kits will include advanced video management systems, voltage management systems, and harnesses crucial for vehicle operations.
