The highest possible decoration, not for a single heroic battle action but for outstanding contributions to the security of Israel.
The Eliyahu Golomb Israel Defense Award is an award given annually to individuals or entities for activities that have contributed to increasing the security of the State of Israel, and is usually given for technological development (IDF decorations are given for achievements that stem from bravery on the battlefield). The award began in 1958. The award is presented in a ceremony by the President of the State, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Defense.
Each year, three or four awards are awarded - one for a lifetime achievement, and two or three for an individual or team whose activities have contributed to the operational field. At least one award will be awarded to a weapon system or combat support system, not from the intelligence field, provided that this system has a proven contribution to the operational field and is characterized by creativity and originality. In a year in which no weapon system or combat support system, not from the intelligence field, was found worthy of the Israel Security Award, no more than two awards will be awarded. In 2015, the award amount was 36,000 NIS.
In 1989, the award recipients were first presented with the award decoration designed by Dan Reisinger.
There exist 4 versions of the pin, for first, second and additional wards.
