Tiltilon Phase II

Academic Program: Mechanical Engineering

Purpose/Essence of the Project

Our project is a follow-up project to a graduation project in which a rocket was developed and a missile was designed in terms of weight and volume distribution. In this phase of the project, we transformed the rocket into a missile. Our goal is to launch a missile with the ability to course-correct and lock on to a moving target.

Describe the Product/Project

A small missile with a diameter of 28mm, a length of 330mm, a control system, rear stabilizer fins, and forward steering fins.

How Was the Idea Born?

Our supervisor came up with the idea several years ago, and together with another lecturer they turned it into a graduation project.

Why Did You Choose This Project?

We chose this project because it’s interesting, challenging, and has added value. Working on it teaches us about the world of complex aviation, and lets us participate in solving a contemporary defense problem.

Is the Project Connected with a Personal Story of Yours or of Someone You Know?

This project is part of our collective story, the story of an entire country fighting and shielding itself for many years against a host of threats from our enemies – working every day to find creative solutions for new threats in order to maintain the nation’s security.

What Need Does It Address and for What Population?

A solution for moving aerial threats, such as drones and UAVs, intended to protect all Israelis.
