Polaris Solutions Ltd. is a defense technology and manufacturing company headquartered in Givat Halm Ihud, Israel. Polaris Solutions was founded in 2009 by Asaf Picciotto and Asaf Miller, two former Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Special Operation Forces (SOF) fighters. The company's stated mission is "to empower defense & HLS forces with cutting edge survivability technologies" and defines survivability as "the ability to complete a mission successfully in the face of a hostile environment." Polaris Solutions develops, designs, and manufactures concealment system products for special operations forces around the world, under four brands.
Polaris Solutions Ltd. has developed and manufactures survivability solutions under four brands, each with a specific type of product:
The RAJUGA brand, inspired by the jaguar, includes products that are produced using a proprietary concealment material known as Thermal Visual Concealment (TVC). TVC material is used to overcome sensors, conceal objects, establish colorization techniques for developing custom camouflage patterns, and is capable of moldable 3D effects. RAJUGA products include TVC panels, sensor covers, weapons, backpack and face covers, medical products including thermal blankets, stretchers, and broken bone fixation, and All Terrain Vehicle Concealment, designed for large vehicles used as battlefield components, such as Humvees.
The OSO Gear brand focuses on tactical textiles and wearable systems essential to survival on the battlefield, emphasizing comfort, connectivity, and operationality. The company uses its technology to create fabrics that help transport and communicate energy for fighters in combat. The company has made products under this brand for special units globally, including in Israel, other countries, and private customers.
The SOLOMON SM brand focuses on the company's "signature management supremacy," products for coordination the between command and troops utilizing concealment technology.
The FIREFLY brand focuses on IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) products, including high power thermal infrared emitters in an extremely compact design. The Firefly brand's IFF products are developed using multispectral technology in the middle wavelength infrared (MWIR) and long wavelength infrared (LWIR) spectrums.
In 2021, Polaris Solutions, in conjunction with the Israeli Ministry of Defense (MoD), unveiled Kit 300, a new camouflage technology made of thermal visual concealment material that makes soldiers "virtually invisible" to the human eye and thermal imaging equipment.
