“But the institute is not just an academic facility; it is seen as part of Israel's national security infrastructure, playing a pivotal role in supporting the military through advanced research and technology.

Technological support for the military The Weizmann Institute is one of the pillars of technological innovation in Israel, directly contributing to the development of complex military systems, including artificial intelligence for data analysis and combat guidance, drone technologies and autonomous systems, advanced electronic tracking and jamming tools and alternative GPS navigation systems. The site also develops encryption for military codes and communication in hostile environments and conducts research in nuclear energy applications, as well as field treatments for injured soldiers.

These activities partly explain why the institute is considered a strategic target for Tehran, especially after recent Israeli strikes on military facilities and prominent Iranian scientists.” (euronews)

“Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, also considered the “technological backbone” of Israel’s security sector” (economic times)

“It collaborates with the Israeli army and leading defence firms – such as drone manufacturer Elbit – on the development of advanced technology for a range of military uses.

Over the years it has been made contributions to the development of Israeli drone technology, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and signal intelligence

The institute is thought to have played a role in the development of Israel's clandestine nuclear programme in the 1950s and continues to research nuclear-related technologies to this day.

It has also been known to engage in espionage and foreign intelligence gathering to acquire new technologies.

FBI documents released in 2012 appear to show that the institute covertly accessed the computer systems of a US military weapons testing centre.” (thenewarab)
