The Ofek is an armored command and control that primarily supports select forces within the IDF, including medical, logistical, and rescue units, complementing the use of Namer and Achzarit (based on a T-55 tank) heavily armored personnel carriers primarily utilized by infantry units.
The Ofek has highly advanced command and control capabilities, built on the Merkava III platform, its capabilities enable secure and physically protected satellite uplink and local network relays, providing Israeli units with an advantage across a range of combat scenarios. This advantage is particularly pronounced in challenging environments, including densely populated urban areas and complex terrains like hills and mountains, where conventional line-of-sight communications often fall short.
With a crew capacity of two individuals and the ability to accommodate approximately 10 dismounts, the Ofek is a versatile and capable armored personnel carrier. Troop ingress and egress are facilitated through the original rear hatch of the Merkava Mark III tank, supplemented by additional roof hatches for increased flexibility.
