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.
