Former Arrow and Iron Dome Commander joins Advisory Board
Senior IAI Defence Executive to Support Radar Absorption Strategy and Commercialisation
Highlights
• Former Israeli Air Defense Colonel responsible for operational execution of Iron Dome,
Arrow, David’s Sling and Patriot Systems appointed to Advisory Board
• Mr Tamir Zimber currently Senior Director for Air Defense Systems (India) at Israel
Aerospace Industries (IAI), overseeing multi-billion USD programs
• Appointment significantly strengthens Adisyn’s capability as it advances its defence strategy
and radar absorption technology commercialisation pathway
• Advisory Board to provide strategic direction, support implementation and facilitate high-
level defence industry engagement globally
• Builds on recent progress in graphene-based radar signature reduction technology, with the
Company working towards a development track aimed at rapid transfer to serial production
Adisyn Ltd (ASX: AI1) (“Adisyn” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr
Tamir Zimber, a former Colonel in the Israeli Air Defense Array responsible for the operational
execution of Iron Dome, Arrow, David’s Sling and Patriot Systems, as the first member of its newly
constituted Advisory Board.
Mr Zimber’s experience across both operational deployment and global defence program delivery is
expected to support the Company in aligning its technology with end-user requirements and
progressing engagement with potential defence and industry partners.
Mr Zimber is currently Senior Director for Air Defense Systems (India) at Israel Aerospace
Industries (IAI), a globally significant, state-owned aerospace and defence group generating multi-
billion dollar annual revenues and delivering advanced air and missile defence systems to customers
worldwide, where he oversees large-scale defence programs and leads engagement with
government and military stakeholders.
His appointment represents a significant step in strengthening Adisyn’s capability as it advances its
radar signature reduction program and broader defence strategy.
Mr Zimber’s experience spans both operational deployment and international commercialisation of
advanced air defence systems, providing Adisyn with direct insight into end-user requirements and
procurement pathways.

Strategic Context - Defence Opportunity
Adisyn’s radar signature reduction initiative is emerging as a high-value vertical alongside its core
semiconductor graphene program.
Recent laboratory testing has demonstrated the ability of graphene-enhanced composite materials
to achieve up to 20dB radar signature reduction which could materially reduce the detectability of
UAV and defence platforms1. The Company is now working towards a development track aimed at
rapid transfer to serial production.
As radar and detection systems continue to improve, reducing the radar visibility of UAV and
autonomous platforms is becoming a critical requirement, driving increased demand for advanced
materials capable of reducing detection range and response times.
These applications sit within rapidly growing global UAV and defence markets, where survivability
and detection management are increasingly central to system design.
The Company’s establishment of 2D Radar Absorbers Ltd, together with its collaboration with Tel
Aviv University, provides a structured platform to advance development and assess commercial
pathways for this technology2.
The appointment of Mr Zimber builds on these recent developments and represents a further step
in positioning the Company to translate technical capability into commercial outcomes.
Advisory Board - Role and Rationale
The Advisory Board has been established to complement Adisyn’s technical and scientific capabilities
with deep operational and commercial defence expertise.
It is expected to:
• Provide strategic input into the direction and prioritisation of radar-related activities
• Support the translation of technical capability into operationally relevant solutions
• Assist in identifying and engaging with appropriate commercial and government stakeholders
• Facilitate access to global defence networks and partnership opportunities
• Enhance the Company’s credibility and positioning within the defence sector
The Board will work alongside management and the Board of Directors as Adisyn continues to refine
its approach to this opportunity.

About Mr Tamir Zimber
Mr Zimber brings more than two decades of leadership experience across operational command,
defence systems integration and international program delivery.
At Israel Aerospace Industries, he is responsible for managing complex, resource-intensive defence
programs and leading business development across international markets, including engagement
with government agencies, defence organisations and industry partners.
Prior to this, Mr Zimber served as a Colonel in the Israeli Air Force Air Defense Array, where he
commanded large-scale, nationwide operations involving thousands of personnel and was
responsible for the readiness and execution of Israel’s key air defence systems.
His experience includes:
• Operational command in high-pressure, mission-critical environments
• Integration and deployment of advanced defence technologies
• Strategic planning and capability development
• International collaboration with allied defence forces
• Execution of large-scale, multi-stakeholder programs
This combination of operational and commercial experience provides Adisyn with direct insight into
both end-user requirements and the pathways to commercial engagement in defence markets.
On Mr Zimber’s appointment to Adisyn’s newly established Advisory Board Adisyn Managing Director,
Arye Kohavi, said:
“The appointment of Tamir is a significant step in the development of our defense strategy.
His direct experience operating and deploying some of the world’s most advanced air defence
systems, combined with his current role managing major international defence programs, provides
Adisyn with unique insight into both the operational requirements and commercial pathways in this
sector.
As we continue to advance our radar signature reduction technology, having access to this level of
expertise will help ensure we are targeting the right opportunities and engaging with the right
partners globally.
Importantly, this is the first step in building an Advisory Board that reflects the scale of the
opportunity we are pursuing.”
Adviser Consideration
In consideration for the performance of advisory services, and subject to Board approval, Mr Zimber
will be granted options to purchase ordinary shares in 2D Radar Absorbers Ltd, representing 1% of
Adisyn Ltd | ACN 155 473 304 | 1300 331 888 | 2 – 3/4 McGrath Road, Henderson WA 6166 | adisyn.com
the subsidiary company’s issued and outstanding share capital as of incorporation, at an exercise
price of NIS 0.01 per share (the “Options”). 2D Radar Absorbers Ltd shares are currently held 81% by
2D Generation Ltd (a fully owned subsidiary of Adisyn), and 19% by Ramot (the commercialization
arm of Tel Aviv University)3.
The Options vest over a 24-month period commencing on the effective date of the Advisory
Agreement, with 25% vesting after an initial six-month cliff period, and the remainder vesting in equal
monthly instalments over the following 18 months, subject to Mr Zimber remaining engaged as an

rapid transfer to serial production.
The Advisory Board is expected to play an ongoing role as the Company refines its strategic direction
and evaluates commercial opportunities within this emerging vertical.
