At the heart of Rafael’s presence in Kielce is the concept of Multilayered Air Defense – an operational doctrine built on integrating multiple systems across ranges and domains. From countering rockets, artillery, and drones, to intercepting cruise and ballistic missiles, Rafael’s multilayered approach has been validated in combat and is shaping the future of national and allied defense architectures.
Key Highlights at MSPO 2025

1. Trophy Active Protection on K2 MBT
For the first time at MSPO, Rafael will present the Trophy Active Protection System integrated on the K2 Black Panther main battle tank.Trophy is the world’s only combat-proven APS, operational with the U.S., Israel, and other allied forces. It has intercepted thousands of threats in combat, ensuring the survivability of armored forces and enabling maneuver in high-threat environments.
2. Spike NLOS – Mounted and Airborne
Rafael will showcase its latest, advanced Spike NLOS precision-guided missile, offering ranges up to 50 km from helicopters and 32 km fromland and naval platforms. Integrated on both helicopters and armored vehicles, Spike NLOS provides pinpoint accuracy and man-in-the-loop control, enabling operators to engage beyond-line-of-sight targets, adapt in flight, and operate across offensive and defensive scenarios.
3. Air Defense – Drone Dome and David’s Sling
As part of its multilayered air defense concept, Rafael will feature Drone Dome, a complete counter-UAS system capable of detection, jamming, and hard-kill interception of hostile drones. Alongside it, the David’s Sling interceptor will be presented – a combat-proven solution against ballistic and cruise missile threats, forming a critical layer in Europe’s evolving air defense requirements.
4. Naval Defense Suite
Rafael will present its comprehensive naval defense suite, including SeaBreaker precision strike missile, the Typhoon family of Remote Weapon Stations, and mission modular solutions such as C-Dome naval air defense and Digital Shark electronic warfare systems. Torbuster provides aunique countermeasure for submarines as well surface vessels with the Torbuster SP. Together, these provide navies with a complete, integrated protection and strike package.
5. Electro-Optics – Sky Spotter & MicroLite
Rafael’s EO portfolio will be on display with the Sky Spotter passive early-warning system, providing real-time detection and tracking of aerial threats, and the MicroLite tactical reconnaissance pod, offering ISR and targeting capabilities for aerial platforms in contested environments.
6. Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) & Targeting
Rafael will also highlight its intelligence solutions, including the Puzzle system for multi-source intelligence fusion, LiteSat microsatellite family for space-based ISR, and cyber defense solutions. These systems ensure that forces maintain an intelligence edge, accelerate sensor-to-shooter cycles, and operate effectively in the digital battlespace.
Strategic Partnerships
Rafael’s long-standing collaboration with Poland, including its partnership with Mesko on the Spike missile family, remains a cornerstone of its regional strategy. By combining combat-proven systems with local industrial partnerships, Rafael provides tailored, interoperable solutions that support Poland’s defense modernization and NATO integration.
