On November 10, 2025, Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) launched the BOOST system, an integrated lithium-ion battery for M4 and AR-15 rifles aimed at enhancing operational effectiveness for infantry and special forces. This innovative system eliminates the need for disposable batteries, offering a rechargeable solution that increases operational runtime by three to five times. Weighing less than 340 grams, BOOST maintains the weapon’s ergonomics while ensuring uninterrupted power for essential accessories like thermal sights and night-vision devices. The introduction of BOOST reflects a significant tactical advancement in power management, enhancing battlefield endurance, reducing logistical burdens, and supporting the broader trend of modernizing military capabilities for improved mission reliability.
