At Eurosatory 2014, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems is exhibiting IRON DOME, a dual mission counter rocket, artillery and mortar (C-RAM) and Very Short Range Air Defence (VSHORAD) system. IRON DOME is an affordable, effective and innovative defence solution (CR&AM Class) for the asymmetric threats of short-range rockets, (up to 70km), and mortars, and also serves as a VSHORAD Missile System (up to 10km) against traditional air defence targets.
The IRON DOME system has been selected by the Israeli Defence Ministry to provide the lowest layer of Israel multi-layered air and missiles defence umbrella.
Since becoming operational by the Israeli Air Force in April 2011, IRON DOME has successfully intercepted over 500 rockets that have been fired from the Gaza Strip at Southern and Central Israel. The IRON DOME system has achieved a very high rate of successful interceptions. In doing so, the system saved lives and prevented serious damages to property.
IRON DOME is designed for quick detection, discrimination and interception of rockets and mortar threats with ranges of up to 70km and also against aircraft, helicopters, UAVs, and PGMs. The system is effective in all weather conditions, including low clouds, rain, dust storms or fog.
IRON DOME provides robust, yet selective defence. Its ability to discriminate between threats headed towards the defended area and those that will fall into the sea or open fields reduces costs and limits unnecessary interceptor launches. A single launcher can protect against a medium-size city.
IRON DOME uses a interceptor with a special warhead that detonates the targets in the air within seconds. The system can handle multiple threats simultaneously and efficiently.
