1. Executive Forensic Overview
1.1. Audit Scope and Designation Disambiguation
This forensic audit addresses the directive to investigate entities operating under the designator “Shark” to determine their level of complicity in supporting the military operations of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD), and the broader occupation infrastructure in Palestine. The audit utilizes a rigorous methodology based on four Core Intelligence Requirements (CIRs): Direct Defense Contracting, Dual-Use & Tactical Supply, Logistical Sustainment, and Supply Chain Integration.
The designation “Shark” serves as a homonym across multiple distinct sectors of the global defense and industrial base. The investigation has identified and disambiguated five primary clusters of interest, ranging from direct manufacturers of lethal autonomous weaponry to consumer goods conglomerates with ideological ties to military funding.
- Cluster A (Lethal/Kinetic): Rafael Advanced Defense Systems (“Digital Shark” ECM) and General Robotics (“SHARK” RCWS). These entities produce combat-critical hardware explicitly designed for the IDF’s naval modernization and special operations capabilities. Complicity is assessed as Upper-Extreme.
- Cluster B (Autonomous Systems): Skana Robotics (“Bull Shark” ASV). A post-2023 startup founded by naval commando veterans, deeply integrated into the IDF’s “Robotics War” doctrine and maritime surveillance strategy. Complicity is assessed as Upper-Extreme.
- Cluster C (Ideological/Logistical): SharkNinja (Consumer Goods). A US-based entity whose leadership and regional distribution channels exhibit material financial and ideological support for the IDF through philanthropic vehicles (FIDF) and closed-loop military consumer benefits (Hever). Complicity is assessed as High (Ideological/Material).
- Cluster D (Dual-Use/Ambiguous): Shark Marine Technologies (Underwater Navigation). A Canadian manufacturer of diver propulsion and sonar systems with high utility for Israeli Naval Commandos (Shayetet 13) but circumstantial evidence of direct contracting. Complicity is assessed as Moderate (Potential).
- Cluster E (Negative/Adversarial): Viewpro (“Giant Shark” Drone). A Chinese manufacturer whose platforms have been utilized by adversarial forces (Houthis) against Israeli interests, and Leonardo (“Black Shark” Torpedo), an Italian system not currently confirmed in the Israeli arsenal. Complicity is assessed as None/Negative.
1.2. Strategic Context: The Maritime “Iron Wall”
The audit identifies a convergent trend among the high-complicity entities: the fortification of Israel’s maritime domain. The “Shark” systems (Digital Shark, Shark RCWS, Bull Shark) collectively form the technological backbone of the naval blockade of Gaza and the protection of offshore energy assets. These systems enable a doctrine of “automated dominance,” allowing the IDF to enforce maritime exclusion zones and conduct littoral raids with reduced risk to personnel, thereby entrenching the military occupation through technological asymmetry.
2. Target A: Rafael Advanced Defense Systems — “Digital Shark”
2.1. System Architecture and Operational Necessity
The Digital Shark is a third-generation Naval Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) system developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, a state-owned defense prime in Israel.1 To understand the complicity level of this system, one must analyze its operational environment: the Eastern Mediterranean littoral zone.
The Israeli Navy (IN) faces a complex threat matrix including shore-based anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs) such as the C-802 (used by Hezbollah in 2006) and the Yakhont, as well as emerging threats from loitering munitions and drones.1 The Digital Shark is engineered to dominate the electromagnetic spectrum, serving as the “soft-kill” layer of the ship’s defense suite.
- Technology: The system utilizes Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) transmitters and Digital RF Memory (DRFM).1 DRFM allows the system to record incoming enemy radar signals, modify them, and re-transmit them to deceive the enemy missile’s seeker head, causing it to miss the ship.
- Autonomy: Crucially, the Digital Shark operates autonomously. Upon detecting a threat, it can instantaneously direct high-power jamming beams without human intervention.1 This capability is critical in saturation attack scenarios where human reaction times are insufficient.
2.2. CIR 1: Direct Defense Contracting and Deployment
The Digital Shark is not a theoretical export product; it is a core component of the IDF’s naval supremacy.
- Platform Integration (Sa’ar 6): The Digital Shark is a subsystem of the broader SEWS-DV (Shipborne Electronic Warfare Suite).3 This suite is the standard EW package for the Sa’ar 6-class corvettes, the Israeli Navy’s flagship vessels. The Sa’ar 6 fleet is explicitly tasked with the defense of Israel’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), specifically the Leviathan and Tamar gas rigs.4
- Blockade Enforcement: Beyond gas rig defense, the Sa’ar 6 and Sa’ar 5 vessels equipped with Rafael EW systems enforce the naval blockade of Gaza. The Digital Shark ensures these vessels can operate within missile range of the Gaza coast with impunity, enabling them to provide naval gunfire support (NGS) for ground operations and intercept maritime traffic.
- Testing and Validation: The system’s “combat-proven” status is derived from its deployment in active operational theaters, likely including the ongoing hostilities in Gaza and the northern front, where it defends against drone and missile threats.5
2.3. CIR 4: Supply Chain Integration and Export Laundering
Rafael utilizes the operational data generated by IDF use to market the Digital Shark to Western allies, thereby integrating Israeli blockade technology into NATO supply chains.
- NATO Contracts: In late 2024 and 2025, Rafael announced contracts to supply the Digital Shark to “a NATO country”.1 This export success validates the system’s effectiveness and integrates Israeli defense technology into the highest tiers of the Western military alliance.
- HENSOLDT Partnership: A strategic cooperation agreement with German sensor manufacturer HENSOLDT aims to integrate the Digital Shark and Rafael’s C-GEM decoys into the German Navy’s self-protection suites.6 This creates a transnational supply chain where German naval defense becomes dependent on Israeli proprietary algorithms developed during the occupation.
- Standardization: The system is marketed as compliant with NATO standards, facilitating its seamless adoption by allied navies and ensuring Rafael’s long-term entrenchment in the global defense market.2
2.4. Complicity Assessment
The Digital Shark represents the “shield” in the IDF’s naval doctrine. By neutralizing asymmetric threats, it allows the Israeli Navy to maintain a suffocating blockade on Gaza and project power across the Eastern Mediterranean without fear of retaliation. As a product of a state-owned enterprise deeply embedded in the IDF’s operational feedback loop, its complicity is absolute.

3. Target B: General Robotics — “SHARK” Weapon Station
3.1. Entity Profile: The Lethal Innovation of General Robotics
General Robotics Ltd. is an Israeli defense firm that specializes in “Anti-Terror” and “Special Operations” robotics. The company was founded by Shahar Gal, a veteran of the Israeli Navy, specifically to address capability gaps identified during his service.7 In 2023, the company was acquired by the US firearms giant SIG Sauer, creating a direct conduit between US manufacturing capital and Israeli tactical innovation.9
3.2. System Analysis: The SHARK RCWS
The SHARK Remote Controlled Weapon Station (RCWS) is a specialized kinetic system designed for the unique constraints of Naval Special Warfare (NSW). While standard RCWS units (like Rafael’s Typhoon) are too heavy for small raiding craft, the SHARK weighs only 85 kg, allowing it to be mounted on Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs) and fast interceptors.10
- Lethality on the Move: The system features dual-axis electromechanical stabilization, allowing it to compensate for the violent motion of a small boat in rough seas (Sea State 3).11 It supports weapons up to.50 caliber (M2HB) or 40mm grenade launchers.
- AI-Assisted Targeting: The system incorporates “Point & Shoot™” technology. This AI interface allows an operator to designate a target on a touchscreen. The system’s ballistic computer then tracks the target and automatically fires the weapon only when the firing solution is perfect.10 This “Target Prediction Algorithm” (TPA) dramatically increases the lethality of small-boat engagements, removing the error inherent in human manual aiming under stress.12
3.3. CIR 1 & 2: Designed for Shayetet 13
The forensic audit identifies the Israel Naval Commandos (Shayetet 13) as the primary intended user and co-developer of this system.
- Operational Requirement: Shayetet 13 operates a fleet of fast interceptor craft (e.g., Morena and successor classes) for coastal raids, covert insertions, and maritime interdiction. The inability to fire heavy weapons accurately from these bouncing platforms was a known limitation. The SHARK RCWS was “designed and tested with users and experts from the local… NSW community,” a clear reference to Shayetet 13.7
- Tactical Application: In the context of the Gaza blockade, these RHIBs enforce the fishing zone limits. The SHARK RCWS allows Israeli forces to engage Palestinian fishing boats or suspected hostile craft from standoff distances with high precision, reducing the risk to Israeli personnel while increasing the likelihood of lethal outcomes for the targets.7
3.4. CIR 4: Supply Chain and Corporate Integration
The acquisition of General Robotics by SIG Sauer represents a deepening of the US-Israel military-industrial nexus.
- Technology Transfer: SIG Sauer, a supplier of the US Army’s Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW), now owns the IP for Israeli naval autonomous targeting. This implies that the “Point & Shoot” algorithms developed in the Israeli littoral arena are likely to be integrated into US military small arms and robotic systems.9
- Market Reach: The backing of SIG Sauer provides General Robotics with a global distribution network, allowing the proliferation of this lethal technology to other special forces units worldwide, normalizing the “push-button warfare” paradigm pioneered by the IDF.
3.5. Complicity Assessment
The SHARK RCWS is a tool of aggressive littoral dominance. It converts small, agile boats into lethal gun platforms, facilitating raids and blockade enforcement. Its design history is inextricably linked to the operational requirements of Israel’s most elite naval unit.

4. Target C: Skana Robotics — “Bull Shark” Autonomous Vessel
4.1. The “Robotics War” Doctrine
The conflict in Gaza has been described by Israeli defense officials as the “first robotics war,” characterized by the mass deployment of autonomous systems to minimize IDF casualties and maximize persistent surveillance.14 Skana Robotics, a Haifa-based startup founded in 2023, sits at the vanguard of this doctrinal shift.
4.2. Entity Profile: The Commando-Tech Pipeline
Skana Robotics was founded by Idan Levy and other veterans of Shayetet 13 and the Israeli Navy’s technology units.15 This “commando-to-founder” pipeline ensures that the company’s products are developed with an intimate understanding of IDF operational needs and doctrine. The company is actively integrated into the IMOD’s Directorate of Defense Research & Development (DDR&D) procurement channels.17
4.3. System Analysis: The Bull Shark ASV
The Bull Shark is a tactical Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV/ASV) designed for “distributed maritime operations”.18
- Capabilities: It is a 50-knot autonomous vessel with a 120 nm range and a 150 kg payload capacity. It is designed for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) as well as “interdiction” (kinetic attack) missions.18
- Swarm Logic: The Bull Shark is designed to operate in swarms (“Seek & Strike”), communicating with other surface vessels and underwater assets like the Stingray AUV.17 This network-centric capability allows for the creation of a seamless, automated sensor grid along a coastline.
- Amphibious Variant: Skana has also developed the Alligator, an amphibious logistics vessel, further enhancing the IDF’s ability to support operations in coastal zones without relying on established ports.20
4.4. CIR 1: Direct IMOD Contracting
Evidence indicates Skana Robotics is a beneficiary of the IMOD’s wartime procurement surge.
- War Mobilization: The IMOD announced the purchase of “advanced drones and autonomous systems” for approximately $40 million to upgrade operational capabilities, explicitly mentioning “startups” alongside major primes like Elbit.17 Skana’s launch and deployment timeline (2023-2025) aligns perfectly with this initiative.15
- Operational Role: In the Gaza theater, the Bull Shark ASVs are likely employed to monitor the coastline for Hamas naval commandos, inspect suspicious floating debris, and enforce the maritime closure, freeing up manned vessels for other tasks. The system’s “interdiction” capability implies it can be armed or used as a loitering munition (suicide drone) against hostile craft.18
4.5. Complicity Assessment
Skana Robotics represents the future of the occupation: automated, persistent, and lethal. By removing the human element from the patrol loop, the IDF can maintain a hermetic seal on Gaza’s maritime border at a fraction of the cost and risk. The company’s origins in Shayetet 13 and its alignment with IMOD’s autonomous warfare strategy place it at the highest tier of complicity.

5. Target D: SharkNinja — Ideological and Material Support
5.1. Divergence from Kinetic Complicity
Unlike the previous targets, SharkNinja (SharkNinja Operating LLC) produces household appliances (vacuums, blenders). However, a forensic audit of its ownership and distribution network reveals a different modality of complicity: Economic and Ideological Zionism.
5.2. CIR 3: Ideological Leadership and Financial Flows
The company’s leadership has demonstrated a sustained commitment to funding the Israeli military apparatus.
- Mark Rosenzweig (Founder): Rosenzweig is a documented patron of the Friends of the IDF (FIDF).22 The FIDF is the primary non-governmental channel for financial support to Israeli soldiers, funding “wellbeing” infrastructure (gyms, synagogues, clubs) on IDF bases. Rosenzweig and his family have been honored at FIDF galas, indicating a high tier of donorship.23
- Foundation Grants: The Morris and Judith Rosenzweig Family Foundation and the Rosenzweig-Coopersmith Foundation have funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to organizations such as:
- PEF Israel Endowment Funds: A conduit for tax-deductible donations to right-wing Israeli causes.24
- Jewish National Fund (JNF): An organization historically and currently involved in the expropriation of Palestinian land for afforestation and settlement projects.25
- New Israel Fund (NIF): While generally considered progressive, funding flows within the Zionist ecosystem often cross-pollinate.
- Mark Barrocas (CEO): Barrocas is also identified as an FIDF supporter and is active in Jewish communal organizations with strong Zionist leanings.26
5.3. CIR 3: Logistical Sustainment via “Hever”
The audit identified a critical link in SharkNinja’s Israeli distribution network.
- Sarig Electric: SharkNinja’s official importer in Israel is Sarig Electric.28
- Hever Consumer Club: Sarig Electric promotes SharkNinja products through Hever.29 Hever is a closed consumer club exclusively for IDF veterans, active personnel, and their families. It is a state-subsidized benefit system that provides deep discounts to the military class.
- Implication: By partnering with Hever, SharkNinja (via its distributor) actively participates in the economic reward structure of the occupation forces. This partnership incentivizes military service by improving the standard of living for soldiers and their families, creating a direct material link between the brand’s commercial success in Israel and the IDF’s welfare system.
5.4. Corporate Matching and Employee Mobilization
SharkNinja maintains a corporate matching gift program (up to $500).30 Given the leadership’s public alignment with FIDF, it is highly probable that employee donations to FIDF are matched by corporate funds, effectively doubling the financial support flowing from the company’s operations to the IDF.
5.5. Complicity Assessment
SharkNinja’s complicity is non-kinetic but significant. It represents the “soft power” of the occupation—the flow of capital from Western consumer markets into the welfare systems of the Israeli military and land-appropriation agencies.

6. Target E: Shark Marine Technologies — Ambiguous Dual-Use
6.1. Entity Profile and Product Line
Shark Marine Technologies Inc. is a Canadian manufacturer based in St. Catharines, Ontario. They specialize in underwater imaging and diver delivery systems.31
- Navigator: A diver-held sonar and navigation computer that allows divers to “see” in zero visibility and navigate covertly.32
- Mako: A Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) integrated with the Navigator system.32
6.2. CIR 2: Dual-Use Applicability to Shayetet 13
The audit found no direct public contracts between Shark Marine and the IMOD. However, the operational fit is extremely high.
- The Capability Gap: Israeli Naval Commandos (Shayetet 13) operate in the murky waters of Israeli ports and the Mediterranean coast. Covert navigation and mine detection are core mission sets.33 The Navigator system is the industry standard for these tasks, claiming use by “19 Navies world-wide”.34
- Distributor Network: The company lists distributors in Europe and Asia but none in Israel.35 This absence is often a signature of covert procurement, where sensitive SOF equipment is purchased through intermediaries (e.g., US FMS channels or European front companies) to avoid scrutiny or because local representation is handled directly by the Ministry of Defense.
- Usage Indications: Reports of Israeli naval modernization often mention the integration of “advanced swimmer delivery vehicles” and “diver detection sonar.” While Shark Marine is a strong candidate for the supplier, competing systems (like STIDD or Seacraft) also exist.36
6.3. Complicity Assessment
Shark Marine operates in the grey zone of dual-use technology. While their equipment would undoubtedly enhance the lethality and effectiveness of Israeli commandos, the lack of definitive evidence precludes an “Extreme” ranking. However, the company’s willingness to supply “19 Navies” suggests no ethical barrier to supplying the IDF.

7. Disambiguation of False Positives and Adversarial Systems
To ensure a rigorous audit, the following entities designated “Shark” were investigated and determined to be either unconnected or adversarial to Israeli interests.
7.1. Viewpro “Giant Shark F360”
- Identification: The “Giant Shark F360” is a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) UAV manufactured by Viewpro, a Chinese firm.38
- Adversarial Use: Forensic analysis of conflict reports confirms that this system is utilized by the Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen. Reports from 2024-2025 indicate that Houthi air defenses shot down a “Giant Shark” drone, or conversely, used them for reconnaissance.39
- Conclusion: This is a system used against Israel or by its adversaries. Complicity: Negative.
7.2. Leonardo “Black Shark” Torpedo
- Identification: The Black Shark is a heavyweight torpedo manufactured by Leonardo (formerly WASS), an Italian defense conglomerate.41
- Market Status: While a contender for Indian and other navies 42, the Israeli Navy’s Dolphin-class submarines primarily utilize German (Atlas Elektronik) DM2A4 Seehecht torpedoes or indigenous Israeli developments.
- Conclusion: No evidence of deployment by IDF. Complicity: None.
7.3. Shark.Aero
- Identification: Shark.Aero produces a high-performance ultralight aircraft in Slovakia/Czech Republic.43
- Israel Connection: Search results indicate “Israel (0)” in sales listings.44 While the aircraft has set speed records, it is a sport aviation platform. There is no evidence of its use for military surveillance in Israel, although other light aircraft are used for such purposes.
- Conclusion: No evidence of military use. Complicity: None.
7.4. Shark Global Logistics / Shtark Port
- Identification: “Shark Global Logistics” is a generic logistics provider. The confusion arises from “Iris Shtark,” the former chairperson of Ashdod Port.45
- Conclusion: This is a linguistic false positive. Complicity: None.
8. Strategic Synthesis and Supply Chain Implications
8.1. The “Kill Web” Integration
The audit reveals that “Shark” is not just a name but a functional designator for a specific tier of Israeli naval capability. The interaction between these systems creates a coherent “Kill Web”:
- Detection: A Skana “Bull Shark” swarm detects a target (fishing boat, diver, drone) off Gaza.
- Protection: The data is relayed to a Sa’ar 6 corvette, protected from missile retaliation by Rafael’s “Digital Shark”.
- Interdiction: The corvette deploys a Shayetet 13 RHIB equipped with a General Robotics “SHARK” RCWS to engage and destroy the target.
This integration demonstrates a unified industrial effort to automate the naval blockade, reducing the political cost of occupation by minimizing Israeli casualties and maximizing control.
8.2. Global Proliferation and “Laundering”
The audit highlights a critical mechanism of the Israeli arms trade: Battle-Testing and Export.
- The Digital Shark is tested on the Gaza front and then sold to NATO, legitimizing the technology.
- The SHARK RCWS is developed for commando raids and then sold via SIG Sauer to global special forces.
- The Bull Shark is refined in the “Robotics War” and marketed as a solution for border security worldwide.
This cycle turns the occupation into a valuable R&D asset. The “Shark” entities are not just suppliers; they are beneficiaries of the conflict, translating operational data from Palestine into intellectual property for the global arms market.

10. Audit Findings and Recommendations for Classification
Based on the rigorous forensic analysis of available data, the following classifications are submitted to the Defense Logistics Oversight Committee:
- Designation “SHARK-KINETIC”: Entities Rafael, General Robotics, and Skana Robotics are classified as Prohibited / High-Risk. Their operations are inextricably linked to the direct application of lethal force and the maintenance of the military occupation. Engagement with these entities supports the technological infrastructure of apartheid and blockade.
- Designation “SHARK-FINANCIAL”: Entity SharkNinja is classified as Ideologically Complicit. While its products are benign, its capital flows support the IDF.
- Designation “SHARK-AMBIGUOUS”: Entity Shark Marine Technologies requires Enhanced Due Diligence to confirm end-user certification in Israel.
