Air Intelligence Directorate

The Israeli Air Intelligence Directorate is a chief unit of the IDF Air Force. Like other IDF intelligence bodies, it is professionally subordinate to the Intelligence Directorate. In Israel the section is called as Lamdan, by Hebrew initial.

Lamdan (The IAID) is responsible for the formulation of the aerial intelleigence picture, and participates in forging the overall intelligence view as part of the Intelligence Community. It operates several research and collection units, including the Technical Assistance Unit (formerly the Air Photography Unit), which analyzes aerial photography, and works alongside Aman's Visual Intelligence branch and the Naval Intelligence Department's Visual Intelligence Unit. The IAID is currently headed by Brigadier-General Ram Shmueli.
