Iron Dome Mission
The “Iron Dome” System is designed to intercept and
destroy short range artillery rockets, shells & mortars with
ranges of up to 70Km and over launched against a
defended area.
Defended Areas:
Urban Areas, Strategic Assets & Force Protection

Iron Dome – Main Advantages
• All weather operation
• Cost Effective solution
• Ignoring rockets predicted to hit un-protected areas
• Effective against salvo threats aimed at “Defended zone“
• High protective footprint
• Threats are destroyed outside the protected area
• Threat warhead detonated on its trajectory

System Test 1.5 (December 2009)
• All the system components were operated together
• Variety of interceptions scenarios –
– Short range rocket interceptions (Kassam, Grad, 107mm…)
– Medium range rocket interceptions
– Multiple engagements vs. salvos (“many vs. many”)
• Successful preferential engagement demonstration
– Only the “relevant” targets were engaged
– All the relevant targets were destroyed
