Advance registration is required for the free entry into the "Our IDF" exhibition.
"Our IDF" entails an audiovisual display, activities for the whole family, military bands performances, ship sailing, along with weapons and high-end technology displays.
Each visitor will receive an "army ID" upon entry which will allow him to score points as he tries the different activities.
The field in which the visitor will achieve the highest score will determine the position for which he is most compatible in the army.
Visitors will be able to experiment with operating robots, play an interactive game which simulates an Iron Dome interception, and take part in a special intelligence game.
The navy presents a simulation of a submarine periscope and a sonar system which uses sound to identify naval vessels near it.
In addition, a game developed by the IDF and dubbed "economic water" will allow each player to defend his naval space from threats posed by enemy submarines and missiles.
Up to six players can play the "economic water," with each one of them being assigned a specific role.
The section dedicated to the ground forces will have a digital sand table simulating war in which virtual forces can me maneuvered.
The skydiving simulation will allow participants to control the simulator by adjusting his harnesses.
The flight simulation displayed in the section dedicated to the Israel Air Force offers the ultimate flying experience, during which the visitor will navigate the plane and carry out missions in the cockpit.
In addition, an Iron Dome battery game will allow the participant to intercept virtual missiles launched at communities.
The intelligence area gives the visitor the opportunity to operate a system, which processes visual data. A cyber riddle will be presented in the exhibition's application, with clues to it provided as the visitor progresses through the various displays.
