As reported by Joseph Trevithick on WarZone, pictures have emerged of what appears to be an updated command vehicle variant of the Israeli Army’s Ofek (“Horizon”) armored vehicle, which is a derivative of the Merkava tank. The new development comes as Israel pushes ahead with a major upgrade program for the Merkava itself, which will include an augmented reality system that will allow the crew to “see” in any direction outside without having to leave the vehicle and expose themselves to hostile fire and an artificial intelligence-enabled mission computer.
