PREPARING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF AERIAL THREATS

Imagine the air picture during combat: the sky is crowded with drones, UAV's,rockets, ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles and cruise missiles, along with interceptors attempting to neutralize them, each engagement creating clouds of debris. Every event is monitored by dozens of different types of sensor and radars, generating a complex operational picture. This picture must be managed by highly sophisticated systems that track the extreme speed of each element while presenting a unified view that accurately reflects the situation in real time. If, for example, multiple sensors detect the same target, the system needs to maintain situational clarity by displaying it on-screen as a single entity.

To navigate such complex and constantly changing environments, TSG has developed a suite of core technologies for data fusion, command & control and prediction, applicable at both tactical and strategic levels. These same systems are also integrated into in early‑warning systems for civilian defense, predicting the trajectory of threats, interception points and ground impact pointsto determine which areas require immediate alerts for the affected population.

Beyond defense, TSG enhances the operational capabilities of Israel and its allies with advanced tactical and operational support systems. One of its solutions can, for example, generate highly accurate 3D coordinates for a wide range of target types, delivering the utmost precision for guided ammunition systems. In addition, the company's disaster management systems are deployed in local authorities to ensure optimal real-time handling of municipal emergencies and first responders.

TSG employs some 900 people and is publicly traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE: TSG). Providing executive leadership over the past year is its president, Pini Yungman, ,a brigadier general (Res.).

A prominent figure in Israel's defense sector, Yungman is widely recognized for his pivotal role in shaping the nation's air and missile defense systems. During his 28-year career in the Israel Air Force, he held numerous command and staff positions, making substantial contributions to Israel's strategic capabilities.
Following his military service, Yungman served as Senior Vice President at Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, where he founded and led the company's Air Defense Systems Division.

Why did you join TSG?
"I have a deep passion for technology and for high-growth environments," answers Yungman. "Over the course of my career, I evaluated dozens of companies in Israel and abroad, and discovered that TSG stands out as one of the most compelling. It offers a wide range of highly innovative technologies with tremendous growth potential. I recognized that it has the ability to grow and become one of Israel's top five defense companies. Over the past year, its value has more than doubled, and its growth is being realized."

As a former senior executive at Rafael and an expert in defense systems, how do you assess TSG's importance and its developments in the defense technology arena?
"The added value of TSG lies in how its systems enhance and complement technologies such as the ones I helped develop at Rafael, for example the Iron Dome and David's Sling," responds Yungman. "TSG's solutions deliver improved performance and create excellent synergy with these systems. Today when Rafael executes a project, TSG systems are often integrated to provide the added value. This is just one example. Many defense and military industries incorporate TSG's advanced technologies into their defense and intelligence arrays to achieve operational superiority."

Can this technology be adapted for other purposes?
"Absolutely!" says Yungman. "Our systems manage dynamic resources using AI capabilities across many domains. Our low-altitude air defense system can, for example, be applied in other areas, including civilian, where managing heavy traffic, such as low-flying drones, is critical. Looking ahead, a large portion of parcel deliveries will likely be handled by drones — and we have a system capable of managing this efficiently."

The Hypersonic Missile Threat
The most significant future threat that TSG is tackling is the hypersonic missile. "These missiles travel at speeds of 15,000 to 20,000 meters per second," explains Yungman. "By comparison, the ballistic missiles fired by Iran at Israel in the recent campaign traveled just over 5,000 meters per second. And the challenge of these missiles isn't limited to their speed. It's also their flight profile and maneuverability. A ballistic missile follows a predictable trajectory, but a hypersonic missile can maneuver and change course mid-flight. One of our main challenges is countering these highly agile threats."

TSG is also developing solutions to handle large volumes of threats, such as swarms of drones or hundreds of simultaneously launched ballistic missiles. "The recent conflict has sharpened our response capabilities, providing valuable lessons that we're actively applying," says Yungman.

The company recently reported its third-quarter results, and Yungman expects record performance by year's end. In 2026, TSG plans further expansion of exports and direct sales to international customers, alongside partnerships with major defense industries. The company is focusing on integrating advanced AI technologies into its systems, and aims to develop these capabilities further, offering customers comprehensive solutions rather than individual products or stand-alone technologies.
