The Israeli Ministry of Defense is seeking proposals for a system to counter fiber-optic drones, which are immune to traditional jamming and electronic warfare.
The IDF has not been well prepared for Hezbollah’s use of fiber-optic FPVs in Lebanon. This has been surprising given the example of the fiber-optic system’s devastating effectiveness in Ukraine.
According to the terms of reference, the system should counter a fiber-optic UAV flying at up to 70 km/h at an altitude of up to 100 meters.

"The Israeli Ministry of Defense has requested proposals from the defense industry for a system capable of intercepting fiber-optic drones.
According to the specifications published by the Armament and Technology Development Authority (MAFAT), the system must be able to intercept fiber-optic drones flying at speeds of up to 70 km/h and at altitudes of up to 100 meters.
The systems are needed for both mobile and maneuverable units, primarily tank divisions, and for protecting troop concentration areas or stationary infrastructure."
