Israel Weapons Industry (IWI), part of SK Group, has delivered the ARBEL ADS to Thailand's Ministry of Defense, where it is operational for day and night use. ARBEL fits AR-15-type rifles and light machine guns, and in Thailand it was integrated by replacing the lower receiver of existing rifles, so the weapons themselves do not need to be replaced. The company says the system works with any optics.
IWI told Breaking Defense that four Southeast Asian countries are "currently at different stages of the procurement process," and that it is in talks with Thailand about additional orders. The company held several demonstrations in the region this year but declined to name the other countries.
