SIBAT (Foreign Defense Assistance and Defense Export Organization)

SIBAT, a department of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, regulates Israeli defense sales by managing licensing and export controls. Other SIBAT responsibilities include brand marketing and distributing a catalog for international customers of Israeli defense firm product lines. [1]

According to the Congressional Research Service, Israeli defense exports, and specifically signed contracts for new exports, totaled $4.4 billion in 2007. [2] SIPRI estimates that from 2007 to 2009 missiles and related equipment sales accounted for 22% of the total volume of Israeli defense exports. [3] From 2000 to 2009, Chile, China, India, Turkey, and the United States were the major importers of Israeli missiles. [4] Officially, Israel does not export any technology related to its top-secret Jericho ballistic missiles or ABM systems, with foreign sales consisting primarily of cruise missiles and SAMs. [5]
