Laser racing is arguably the most competitive and close sailboat racing in the world. Still, the real beauty of a Laser lies in its invitation to go sailing for the pure joy of it. With no standing rigging to bother with, no obstacle course of fittings to bruise and cut, no cockpit full of water, the bare essentials of tiller, mainsheet, and sailor can come together to feel the magic of the wind and water cast its spell.

According to Yoram Shmueli, Joint General Manager of Elbit Systems' Airborne division, the decision to equip the IAF with Lizard represents an important breakthrough for Elbit Systems as a major supplier of laser-guided systems. Mr. Shmueli added, "The use of lasers for pinpoint accuracy and reduced collateral damage is in increased demand amongst the world's advanced air forces, and the fact that the IAF has chosen Elbit Systems' Lizard will lead to increased orders for the system worldwide."
