'''RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems''' (often styled Rafael) is an Israeli defence manufacturer. ''Defense News'' has described it as maker of Israel's Iron Dome air-defence system. In December 2023 the company's board appointed Yoav Turgeman, a retired Israeli Navy colonel and then chief executive of Israel Aerospace Industries subsidiary Elta Systems, as Rafael's new CEO, subject to approval by Israel's defence and regional cooperation ministers and a review committee. Turgeman had joined IAI in 2006 after navy service that included heading the combat systems department; at IAI he had led the Arrow air-defence programme and later Elta.<ref name="DNRafael">Tzally Greenberg, [https://www.defensenews.com/industry/2023/12/06/israeli-firm-rafael-picks-elta-systems-boss-as-new-chief-executive/ Israeli firm Rafael picks Elta Systems boss as new chief executive], ''Defense News'', 6 December 2023.</ref>
