Israel’s New Laser Missile Defense System | 15 Apr 2022

Recently, Israel has successfully tested a new laser missile defence system, it has intercepted mortars, rockets and anti-tank missiles.

Israel’s Iron Dome defense system has been a great success, with a 90% interception rate against incoming rocket fire.

The Israeli-made laser system, known as the "Iron Beam'', which is designed to complement a series of aerial defence systems, including the more costly rocket-intercepting.
The Iron Beam's interceptions are silent, they're invisible.
- It is using Directed-Energy (DE) weapon system and can go a long way in providing aerial defence.
- A DE weapon is a system using DE primarily as a direct means to disable, damage or destroy adversary equipment, facilities, and personnel.
Little is known about the laser system's effectiveness, but it is expected to be deployed on land, in the air and at sea.
It is an effective, accurate, easy-to-operate tool that is significantly cheaper than any other existing means of protection.
