Israel Aircraft Industries or '''IAI''' is Israel's prime Aerospace and Aviation manufacturer, producing aerial systems for both Military and civilian usage. It has 14,000 employees as of 2005. In addition to local construction of Fighter Aircraft , IAI also builds civil aircraft (for Gulfstream , on the G100/G150 and G200 ) and performs local maintenance of foreign-built fighters. In addition, the company works on a number of Missile and Avionics systems. In 2003, Israel Aircraft Industries attempted to enter the VLJ (Very Light Jet) Market, by launching the Avocet ProJet, a 6-8 seat, high utilization air taxi, with a list price almost half the cost of the least expensive business jet available today. In early 2006, the ProJet stalled after a major undisclosed US OEM pulled out of the program due to unspecified reasons. Although the IAI main focus is Aviation and High-tech electronics, it also manufactures military system for ground and Naval forces. Many of these products are specially suited for the Israeli Defence Forces needs, while others are also marketed to foreign armies. PRODUCTS Civilian Air systems
