According to an official statement by Israel’s Ministry of Defense, the 100-kilowatt laser defense system “Iron Beam” has been successfully integrated into the Iron Dome battle management structure. This smart coordination allows air-defense commanders to switch between missiles and lasers depending on the type of threat. This revolutionary technology addresses the financial and logistical challenges of Tamir missiles by reducing the cost of each intercept to a few dollars and offering unlimited magazines. However, due to its short range and reduced laser effectiveness in cloudy or rainy weather, this system will be a complement to Iron Dome rather than a replacement.
