Completed development of laser defense system in Israel
Israel has made a significant leap in its defense capabilities with the successful completion of the development of a ground-breaking air defense system, named 'Iron Beam.' This historic milestone, as described by Defense Minister Israel Katz, marks a new era in Israel's defense arsenal.
The 'Iron Beam' is a collaborative project between Israeli defense companies Elbit Systems and Rafael. This laser defense system is designed to intercept missiles, mortars, aircraft, and drones in various scenarios, making it a versatile addition to Israel's defense capabilities.
One of the most notable aspects of 'Iron Beam' is its cost-effectiveness. Compared to existing defense systems, 'Iron Beam' is significantly cheaper, offering a more affordable solution for Israel's defense needs. Furthermore, the operating costs of 'Iron Beam' are very low, making it a financially viable option in the long run.
According to US reports, 'Iron Beam' can neutralize drones for approximately four dollars per engagement, showcasing its efficiency in terms of cost and performance.
Minister Katz emphasized that Israel's enemies should be aware that the country is strong in defense and attack, and will do everything to protect the security of Israeli citizens. He also stated that the development of 'Iron Beam' is a clear demonstration of Israel's commitment to its defense and the safety of its people.
The Israeli defense company Rafael has been instrumental in the development of 'Iron Beam.' Not only has Rafael been involved in the creation of the cost-effective laser defense system, but it has also deployed prototypes of tactical short-range lasers in current conflicts. These prototypes have already proven their worth, successfully intercepting dozens of threats.
The first systems of 'Iron Beam' are expected to be integrated into the Israeli air defense by the end of the year. This successful completion of the development and testing phase is considered a 'decisive milestone' before the system is handed over to the army for operational use.
With 'Iron Beam,' Israel becomes the first country to possess a system like this, offering a cost-effective alternative to the multi-stage missile defense system currently used by Israel. This new technology promises to revolutionize Israel's defense capabilities, providing a more efficient, cost-effective, and versatile solution to various threats.
