"I welcome the appointment of Dan Slasky as CEO of the Aeronautics Group,” says Maj. Gen. Yoav Har-Even, Chairman of Aeronautics and CEO of RAFAEL. “Dan brings with him a wealth of skills and experience both as a CEO and in leading large multi-disciplinary systems with an emphasis on the airborne domain. I wish him much success, and thank Moshe Elazar for the company’s impressive achievements in recent years.”
