In a recent series of experiments in the south of the country, Raphael's Drone Dome system successfully intercepted multiple drones and targets while maneuvering through a laser beam. In the process, targets were tracked, followed by daylight and night conditions - and finally intercepted by a powerful laser beam.
The system, unveiled last year, works against unmanned aerial vehicles that are in the "bottom tier", ie at heights not far from the ground.
The system works with two methods: the Soft Kill option that disrupts the attacked bone activity, and the Hard Kill option that intercepts a laser.
Raphael makes it clear that the Drone Dome is "designed to deal with the threat of aviation and drones both in the defense of military forces and facilities, and in the defense of civilian destinations, such as airports, public facilities and strategic infrastructure, which are becoming more vulnerable to the growing threat of hostile use of aircraft and aircraft" Tim. "
Raphael also added that the Drone Dome system "is designed to provide effective, fast and mobile airspace protection against hostile drones, incorporating detection and control subsystems, and in effect provides 360-degree protection in the area where it is located. The system is modular, portable, and custom-built to meet the user's specific needs and requirements, while maintaining high level of safety to minimize environmental damage. The system has already been sold to several customers around the world, including the British Army. "
Drone Dome is one of Raphael's advanced air defense systems, which are used as layer-based protection. Alongside the Drone Dome, the Iron Dome, Magic Wand and Spider systems work.
