Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) has developed the ARBEL Rifle System, a groundbreaking computerized fire-control technology that significantly enhances shooting accuracy and ammunition efficiency for assault rifles and light machine guns. The system uses advanced sensors and ballistic computations to optimize firing conditions, releasing rounds only when optimal hit probability is identified, improving precision from 23% to 73% in tests. This technology also incorporates counter-drone capabilities, making it highly relevant for modern battlefield scenarios. As of early December 2025, India and IWI have entered formal discussions to integrate the ARBEL system into India’s defense forces, reflecting a deepening Indo-Israeli collaboration aligned with India’s “Make in India” initiative. IWI is already manufacturing weapon barrels domestically in India through its partnership with the Adani Group’s PLR Systems joint venture. Talks focus on local production and possible field trials, highlighting strategic efforts to upgrade Indian infantry weaponry with cutting-edge technology from Israel, which could enhance India’s tactical and operational edge against evolving threats.
