The Israeli Ministry of Defense has selected IMCO Group to produce its next batch of electrical and video sub-systems for the Israel Defense Force’s (IDF’s) Namer 1500 armoured personnel carrier (APC).
The continuation order has been valued at approximately ILS25.2 million (US$6.5 million) and will see IMCO deliver dozens of platforms.
IMCO will provide the IDF with logistic support and maintenance services for the vehicles, which the company noted had been ‘in intense operation’ in recent weeks, due to the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip.

IMCO Projects, Nir-Or, ADTI and EMT – all IMCO subsidiaries – will produce and provide the platform electrical sub-systems, which include advanced electrical and video sub-systems, electric power and control units and operational control panels.
