Iron Beam Laser Defense System Delivered to IDF
(Globes) Dean Shmuel Elmas - On Dec. 28, Israel's Ministry of Defense and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems delivered the first Iron Beam high energy laser defense system to the IDF. Iron Beam represents a world-class technological and engineering breakthrough. The system has a range of up to 10 km. and has successfully intercepted rockets, mortars and drones. The system is intended to complement Iron Dome, with both being operated from the same control vehicle. While each Iron Dome interception costs $30,000, an interception by Iron Beam will cost only $5-10.
