Yesterday moving lecture with Dr Uzi Rubin: the founder and first Director of the Israel Missile Defense Organization (IMDO) in the Israel Ministry of Defense (MoD) and founder of the Arrow Defence programme.

Uzi was holding an unforgettable story which brought back images and sounds from the days of the 1947 UN Partition Plan to present days.

He led the Arrow program from its inception in 1991 to the first delivery of operational missiles in 1999.

He also served in the Israel National Security Council as a director on technology and proliferation issues. He was twice awarded the Israel Defense Prize in 1996 and in 2003.
