Israel’s Iron Beam set for deployment this year

0

The air defense system in Israel is scheduled to operate in the second half of 2025, and now the “National Defense” website has published comments about the regime from the head of the advanced defense systems in Raphael Juffal Steinz.

“We had to find a way to bypass the atmosphere and maintain laser rays as it was when they were separated,” said Steinitz, as it is eating the fact that the atmosphere absorbs part of the package.

Iron Beam is a high -power land defense laser system, against air threats (missiles, mortar bombs, drones, unmanned air vehicles, and cruise missiles). The Ministry of Defense Directorate (DDR & D) leads the project with Rafael, the main developer, and Elbit Systems.

The system constitutes a technical penetration on a global scale, with its high strength: 100 kilowatts. The force reflects the power of the package, and stronger, the threats that it can deal with. Iron Beam has proven its capabilities in a series of experiments, and aims to be a supplementary system for Iron Dome, which is designed to intercept missile threats within 40 km, while the iron package has an objection range of 10 km.

Steinitz said that after locking on a goal, Iron Dome’s algorithms in the counted feeding episode expand at a rate of “hundreds of times per second.” The feedback ring is a process in which artificial intelligence -based decisions are collected continuously. According to the report in the “National Defense”, the system will automatically decide any objection associated with threat, iron dome, or iron beam. The President of Raphael indicated that the laser system was tested into a group of “tens of kilometers”, and that he continues to improve its extent.

Great cost savings

The main benefits that Iron Beam will provide in helping the air defense system and the main cost savings. The objections that use the iron dome are estimated at about $ 30,000 each, and at least some of them can be replaced with iron packages.

The Ministry of Defense has not revealed the estimated costs of objection by the iron package, but it can be learned from other countries working in this field. The cost of objection to the Block I in South Korea is a range of three kilometers and a power of 20 kilowatts is only $ 1.5, while the dragon fire system that was developed by the United Kingdom is estimated at $ 13.







Steinitz refused to determine the number of iron beam systems that will be deployed in Israel, but according to reports, there are ten iron dome batteries that have been published throughout the country. The need to combine the laser with the iron dome dome is so that they can support each other, also due to the expected restrictions of the iron package. One of the laser defects is that cloudy weather, fog or fog limits its operation and impedes its effectiveness.

The iron package also shoots in a column and moves from the target to the target. Therefore, if there is a barrage, only one threat can be treated at one time. In the face of laser technological challenges, Steinitz explained how the system works, saying that it releases hundreds of small packages the size of the coin towards the target. When one beam is discovered by telescopic reflection, additional beams are directed to the target – and the energy concentration leads to a rapid objective of the target.

The “National Defense” notes that Raphael has begun to provide examples of the iron package in exhibitions that include mobile, fixed and free systems, and they were presented to the exhibitions in the United States, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.

The company told the website that the system sales goals will depend on the Israeli government: “If the Ministry of Defense sees that it is acceptable to share this technology with our friends and partners around the world, this is something that we will receive a lot of attention.”
