Israeli defense-tech company Spectralx has signed an agreement to supply tens of thousands of advanced camouflage systems to a NATO member state in Europe, in a deal worth over NIS 35 million. The systems are to be delivered within three months. Spectralx specializes in signature management and multi-spectral camouflage, designed to minimize exposure of operational forces to detection and sensing technologies. The company is finalizing training and implementation processes with the special forces of that European NATO nation. Spectralx's products have been deployed by Israel's security forces for many years, with usage intensifying significantly since October 7, as the IDF increasingly recognizes the need to conceal air defense systems. The company was founded in 2008 by Asaf Picciotto (CEO) and Assaf Miller, based on lessons from their reserve service in the Maglan unit during the Second Lebanon War. Investor Ran Tushia later joined. Spectralx employs over 70 people and has a subsidiary in the US and a manufacturing operation in Africa. A senior Ministry of Defense official described the company as 'wonderful' and 'practical and effective for the combat soldier,' noting their advanced camouflage capabilities.
