At LAAD 2019, the Latin American defense and security exhibition held in Brazil this month, Israel Shipyards introduced coastal defense vessels for short- and long-distance protection. The ships were developed to prevent illegal activity and maritime terrorism, provide coastal protection for naval forces and protect territorial waters and EEZs.

The company presented a range of vessels and combat solutions, including SHALDAG fast patrol craft and offshore patrol vessels with a high level of maneuverability and other capabilities. Among the solutions installed on these vessels are cutting-edge weapon systems as well as command and control, electro-optics and night vision systems. —Israel Shipyards Ltd.
