Historical profile
The ARAD was unveiled by IWI in 2018 as a response to the growing global demand for high-quality AR-15 platforms, leveraging experience gained with the Tavor and the Galil ACE.
It has been adopted by police forces in Latin America (notably Mexico, hence the SDN markings visible on the receiver) and by private contractors as a standard service carbine.
