An Iron Beam battery is composed of an air defense radar, a command and control (C2) unit, and two HEL (high-energy laser) systems. It was intended to be mobile [ 21 ] and to be able to be used standalone, [ 7 ] but was later rendered non-mobile to address weight and power availability concerns and integrated into Iron Dome to reduce complexity ...
Israel’s experimental air-defense system known as the Iron Beam uses laser technology to strike down drones and rockets, but military analysts say the device needs U.S. support to improve its ...
Footage of the tests shows the energy-based weapons system firing high-powered laser beams at a rocket, a mortar, and a drone. Video shows Israel testing its 'Iron Beam' air-defense system, which ...
Israel expects its “Iron Beam” laser defense system to be operational within one year, saying it will bring “a new era of warfare” as it engages in a war of drones and missiles with Iran ...

Popeye Turbo SLCM – believed to be a nuclear-tipped submarine-launched cruise missile [11] Iron Beam – laser missile defense system; Iron Dome – an air defense system to intercept short-range rockets and artillery shells [12] TROPHY [13] [14] – an active protection system for armored vehicles.
Iron Beam uses a fiber laser to destroy an airborne target. Whether acting as a stand-alone system or with external cueing as part of an air-defense system, a threat is detected by a surveillance system and tracked by vehicle platforms in order to engage. [16] Iron Beam is expected to be operational by the end of 2025. [17] [18]
JERUSALEM (AP) — An incoming attack by Iranian drones and ballistic missiles poses the latest challenge to Israel’s air defense system, which already has been working overtime to cope with incoming rocket, drone and missile attacks throughout the six-month war against Hamas. Here’s a closer look at Israel’s multilayered air-defense system:
Iron Beam: Israel is developing a new system to intercept incoming threats with laser technology. Israel has said this system will be a game changer because it is much cheaper to operate than ...
