Elta North America, which is a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries, was just named as one of four companies to win contracts to build prototypes of smart systems that will be ultimately used in America’s border wall with Mexico.
Two hundred companies bid for this opportunity.
Elta, as part of its bid, will receive between $300,000 and $500,000 in contracted dollars to build the model.

Now, these four companies will face off in a competition to see which comes up with the best model.
Ynet News has the story:
An Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) subsidiary is on the shortlist to construct the new border wall between the United States and Mexico, an enormous project and long-touted campaign promise by President Donald Trump.
Elta North America, the aforementioned IAI subsidiary, was announced Saturday as one of only four companies to construct a prototype for a “smart border” wall, after winning a US Customs tender. More than 200 companies from around the world presented bids for the tender.
Each one of the quartet of companies will receive funding of $300,000-$500,000 to finance the production of said prototype in the coming fall.
Trump wishes to create a wall running the entire 3,200 kilometers separating the two countries, in order to prevent passage of migrants from Mexico into the US, who he says take jobs out of American hands.
After Trump cited Israel’s wall built along its southern border with Egypt as a success story in stopping illegal migrants from entering the country, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced his support for the US border wall project. Netanyahu’s reply got him into some hot water with both Mexico and members of his own coalition, who pleaded with him to stay out of the controversial issue.
The project is estimated to become one of the world’s largest security infrastructure undertakings, with its cost to run anywhere from 15 to 25 billion dollars.
The American government has so far earmarked 3 billion dollars for the project in its 2018 budget, of which a billion will go to the smart border systems included in the tender, which are supposed to include advanced radars for both person and vehicle identification. Radars of this type are already manufactured by Elta and sold to the Israeli Ministry of Defense, as well as to other international clients.
Elta North America works out of Maryland and manufactures radar systems and components for branches of the American military, as well as radar components that the Israeli Ministry of Defense purchases using funding it receives from the US for Israel’s security. The security package does stipulate, however, that Israel must purchase equipment intended to fortify its security from that has been manufactured in the US—a fact that allows Israel to purchase Elta’s products, despite the company being a subsidiary of the Israel Aerospace Industries.
Elta employs 50 people and is expected to double its manpower in the coming years. It also operates in cyber and has opened a training and instruction center for cyber professionals working for both governmental and private organizations.
Elta’s Israeli headquarters are located in Ashdod, where it manufactures radar systems for Arrow missiles, the Iron Dome system, espionage and fighter jets.
The company is also in the running to supply additional long-range radars to South Korea, which has already purchased the “Green Pine” radar used in the Arrow missiles from Elta. South Korea is interested in purchasing radar systems to beef up its deterrent array in light of rising tensions in the Korean peninsula.

Are there any Islamic countries that bid for this? No one from Saudi Arabia, Iran or Libya where the highly intelligent Muslims reign supreme?

There is no islamic country that has the intellectual or technical ability to do anything more complicated than rape, murder, steal and lie.

Well now, they have quite a bit of ‘intellectual ability.’ Why, they always know which direction to face at prayer time. And in a pinch, they can make a fully functional, grade-A bomb vest in fifteen minutes. And they have several patents on the new and improved FGM cutting tools…..

Like what Gen. Franks said in his book; when you wanted the Muslims to do something, they didn’t want you to pay them, instead you gave them something to steal.

So intelligent that, before the discovery of oil by non-Muslims, and its development by non-Muslims, their primary economic activity was trading camels for boys and women, or vice-versa.

Of course he can ban Islam, just close the mosques and madrassas, ban the Koran, educate the public about the reality of sharia law, ban BLM, the Nation of Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR and all the other lying groups.
Then deport anyone who doesn’t like it.
Allah is fictional and Islam rules through fear.
Without oil the Arabs would still be scratching their behinds.
Islam’s days are numbered and eventually it will die in the dust from whence it emerged.

GUNS. Guns will shut down the muslim filth invasion. Muslim cockroaches have NO rights in my neighborhood. Funny how these gutless, these fu cking cowards never attack where men are armed. Attack unarmed women and children, you disgusting pukes…our anger and hatred of you is growing – you WILL feel our wrath.

8 million Muslims in an armed population of 320 million. Want to figure the percentages? Just look at old Burma for an example of what awaits violent Muslims all around the world, soon enough. Anyone here ever see even ONE Muslim speak with truly angry contempt against Osama Bin Ladin? Or against any Islamic violence, rape or terror? I never have. There aren’t any, as any Muslim decent enough to object to that quits your vile “religion”, and becomes non-Muslim, a Christian or atheist.

The USA doesnt need it. They stole the land from the indians, remember SJW dumbass? Can you name any country that was not settled by force at one time or another? Do you understand any history at all Abu? How were territories formed throughout history?
The indians fought each other over territory and often cooked and ate each other. duh, the savagery in the 3rd world where you come from needs no mention. The modern concepts of civilized and legal land ownership came from white people. So did the car you drive snd the electricity you use. Hope this helps, Abu. LOL

5. The peaceful and prosperous Jews of Soddy Barbaria?
6. The Zoroastrians of Persia?

A wise move. We often hear about adopting the “Israeli method” in a variety of undertakings like airport security and Israel’s border wall, which all but stopped terrorist infiltration, is another example. Now, if we only armed our school teachers as they do.
Be safe, be trained, be alert.

“Israeli method” of airport security means profiling, first and foremost. We have a long way to go back to it.

Agreed, thank the libtards. Everybody profiles. When you walk into a room full of people you are automatically being judged, i.e. “cute sweater”, “too angry”, “nice ass”, you get the picture.

Profiling is good and efficient. If one is looking for info on an Islamic terrorist it makes sense to start at the local mosque and not the lady’s knitting club. And a heavily bearded Arab is more likely (statistically) to be an Islamist then a little old lady with a walking frame.

One disincentive for the border wall is how too many have profited from the illegal drug trade moving north from Mexico. This includes not only narco traffickers, but many politicans and even police and border security personnel. The border wall will halt that, but watch who starts screaming the loudest against the wall among the top dogs, for a clue to whose hands are dirty.
