Rafael's direct local competitors are Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), while global competitors include Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and MBDA. The company holds specific market share in active protection systems and short-range interception technologies. Rafael is experiencing tailwinds due to increased global defense budgets following the war in Ukraine and the ongoing conflict in Israel.
Rafael is one of the largest employers in northern Israel, operating R&D and production sites at the David and Leshem institutes, alongside a facility in Shlomi and offices in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Be'er Sheva. The company typically hires hardware engineers, C/C++ embedded developers, algorithm researchers, and systems engineers. Rafael serves as a direct R&D pipeline for the Israeli defense establishment, frequently recruiting veterans from IDF technological units and the Talpiot program, and maintains strategic research partnerships with the Technion.
