By agency report
Israel’s Ministry of Defense (IMOD) has announced the successful completion of the Iron Beam high-power laser system, a significant upgrade to its multilayered air defense systems.
According to the defence ministry, the initiative is the outcome of its collaborative effort with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and the Israeli Air Force (IAF).
The development marks a historic milestone in the country’s air defense capabilities.
Iron Beam is designed as a ground-based laser system capable of countering a variety of aerial threats.
Leveraging Rafael’s proprietary “adaptive optics” technology, the system delivers a stable, precise beam that can neutralize threats rapidly and at minimal operational cost.
It is intended to complement Israel’s existing missile defense systems, including Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow.
