The Israeli Air Defense Command (Hebrew: מערך ההגנה האווירית) is the Israeli Air Force unit responsible for the surface front of Israel's air defense, complementing the air defense provided by Fighter squadrons. Initially a part of the IDF Artillery Corps, since 1970 the Air Defense Command has been subordinate to the Israeli Air Force.
