Israel’s Defence Ministry announced that its laser-based anti-missile system, “Iron Beam,” has completed testing and will be operational by year-end. Co-developed by Elbit Systems and Rafael, this cost-effective system targets smaller missiles and drones, significantly enhancing Israel’s air defense alongside existing systems like Iron Dome. It marks a milestone as the first high-power laser interception system to reach full operational maturity. The introduction of “Iron Beam” is expected to revolutionize modern warfare, demonstrating Israel’s commitment to advancing its defense capabilities and addressing evolving aerial threats effectively. This system’s deployment may influence regional security dynamics significantly.
