Iron Dome (Hebrew: כִּפַּת בַּרְזֶל, romanized: Kippat Barzel) is an Israeli mobile all-weather air defense system,[8] developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries.[7] The system is designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells fired from distances of 4 to 70 kilometres (2–43 mi) away and whose trajectory would take them to an Israeli populated area.[9][10] From 2011 to 2021, the United States contributed a total of US$1.6 billion to the Iron Dome defense system,[11] with another US$1 billion approved by the US Congress in 2022.[12][needs update]
Iron Dome was declared operational and initially deployed on 27 March 2011 near Beersheba.[13] On 7 April 2011, the system successfully intercepted a rocket launched from Gaza for the first time.[14] On 10 March 2012, The Jerusalem Post reported that the system shot down 90% of rockets launched from Gaza that would have landed in populated areas.[10] In late 2012, Israel said that it hoped to increase the range of Iron Dome’s interceptions, from a maximum of 70 to 250 kilometres (43–155 mi) and make it more versatile so that it could intercept rockets coming from two directions simultaneously.[15]
They have other systems, Iron Dome is for short range rockets; David’s Sling is a missile and drone interceptor but I am not sure if it’s been deployed.
I am a big fan of these defensive systems. They save lives on all sides. If you can knock rockets and missiles and drones out of the sky, you save your civilian and military infrastructure and don’t have to launch a massive counter-strike.
It worked against Gaza for the last 15 years. The strategic error was not expecting a massive bum-rush across the border by a hoard of bloodthirsty terrorists. They got too complacent being able to knock Gaza rockets out of the sky and ignored that ground offensive threat.
Iron Dome doesnt do ballistic missiles. It was intended for short range Katyusha or Grad type rockets.
ABM work is for Arrow and Davids Sling, also Israeli systems.
