Inside Elbit's Laser Lab
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Elbit Systems is the company that developed the Iron Beam laser defense system. It is now working on applying it to aircraft, so that aerial threats can be shot down from much closer range and from above. Elbit Systems President and CEO Bezhalel Machlis said, "Putting a high-power laser in the air enables us to first overcome some of the challenges of the ground, like weather and dust and turbulence." It "will enable us to gain more range and be more effective, and also to eliminate the threats far away from our borders."
