JERUSALEM, Sept 17 (Reuters) – A low-cost, high-power laser-based system aimed at destroying incoming missiles has successfully completed testing and will be ready for operational use by the military later this year, Israel’s Defence Ministry said on Wednesday.
Developed by Rafael Advance Defense Systems, “Iron Beam” will complement Israel’s Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow anti-missile systems, which have been used to intercept thousands of rockets fired by Hamas militants in Gaza, by Hezbollah from Lebanon and by the Houthis in Yemen.
