ARIEL Photonics Assembly Ltd (ARIEL) was founded in 2007 to utilize a unique laser technology into new products that will define the future battlefield. Since then ARIEL has developed and produced a series of novel laser systems that protects Israel from terrorists' land and aerial attacks. ARIEL is engaged with almost all the Israeli major defense integrators, and our unique laser technology is protected by 2 granted patents and few patent applications in many states around the world. ARIEL is ISO9001 certified laser company, approved supplier to RAFAEL, ELBIT, ELISRA, ELTA, IMI and IMOD. ARIEL developed a unique powerful laser module CLOUD that really deflects anti-tank guided missiles. It protects tanks, armored personnel carriers, jeeps, bridges, posts, important installations and ships. The module was tested in Israel and USA with 100% success. With a relatively small budget and a talented team, ARIEL has developed and produced 10 other unique laser products for defense including laser countermeasures, laser illuminators and laser threat simulators for terrestrial and avionic applications. To versatile ARIEL has developed and started selling in 2014 high end industrial fiber lasers. ARIEL performed an order of ~ $0.5M to manufacture first lot of 30 fiber lasers for Japan. The lasers are used in industrial laser printers. In the year 2016 ARIEL (as a subcontractor of Elbit Systems Land and C4I) won a classified tender of IMOD and received an order to manufacture and supply $7M of ARIEL products. This project provides work for ARIEL for few years. In 2011, 10% of ARIEL Photonics Assembly Ltd were bought by ELBIT Systems Land and C4I for $ 2.7M. Sales volumes were $0.5M in 2015, $0.7M in 2016, $2.0M in 2017. The company employs 11 people.Some products of APA are shown below. Roadmap of ARIEL includes Laser Kill Anti UAV protection system against terrorist's attacks with drones. There is no real solution for this problem in Israel and worldwide. ARIEL successfully demonstrated protection from quadcopters in outdoor long range tests for potential customers. The system includes high power military multi kilowatt fiber laser that ARIEL develops and manufactures for this application. We expect a production order for Homeland Security from an Israeli customer within 2-3 years. ARIEL plans to manufacture a Laser Kill Anti UAV protection system for actual installation and practical use and for marketing purpose. We also plan to complete development and manufacturing of a 200 watts industrial laser for 3D laser metal printers for direct metal laser sintering, the most advanced metal processing technology. ARIEL is working on establishing cooperation with civil and HLS companies for development and manufacturing of a modern LADAR for autonomous car.
