The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has launched an ambitious five-year strategic plan called Hoshen (named after the biblical priestly breastplate), guiding military modernization from 2026 to 2030.

The plan integrates critical lessons from the October 7, 2023 attacks and over two years of intense warfare, focusing on rebuilding readiness, resilience, and operational fitness.
AI will transform nearly every aspect of IDF operations, from battlefield management and intelligence to logistics and decision-making, with Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir warning that armies not adopting it will fall behind.
Heavy investment in robotics and autonomous systems across land, sea, and air domains to expand reach, reduce risks to soldiers, and enable independent or coordinated operations.
Space is now treated as a full combat domain, with new capabilities to counter threats like Iran’s satellite programs aided by Russia, preserving Israel’s technological edge.
Exploration of innovative defensive technologies, including adapting “beeper” detonation concepts (inspired by the 2024 Hezbollah operation) to prevent ground invasions.
Major upgrades to data centers and computational infrastructure to support AI dominance in future conflicts.
Enhanced air force coordination with ground forces, multilayered defenses against drones, expansion of the Iron Beam laser system, and potential fleet modernization including F-35s and F-15 replacements.
Backed by significant funding, including a NIS 350 billion decade-long investment in defense innovation and greater independence in weapons production, amid ongoing U.S. aid negotiations.
