Hybrid tank-robot teams are now an operational reality for the IDF

Under the IDF’s “Hoshen” five-year plan (2026–2030), robotics deployment is set to expand dramatically across land, sea, and air domains.
It not only frees personnel for other missions but also dramatically reduces risk.
One of the most advanced creations is the Jaguar, a semi‑autonomous ground robot developed by the IDF and IAI.
The IDF has leaned heavily on this technology to reduce soldier exposure, enhance precision, and maintain real-time situational awareness.
The IDF has rapidly expanded its use of robotic systems, especially in the Gaza conflict.
