Israel Concludes Major Evaluation of its
Future Multi-layered Missile Defense System

The recent simulations concluded last week, included the new Iron Dome Counter Rocket, Artillery and Mortar (C-RAM) active defense systems, currently being deployed near the southern border with Gaza, the different Arrow interceptors and future, medium-range missile interceptor - David Sling - currently under development at Rafael and Raytheon. In preparing for the test, the IAF conducted a thorough, long-term assessment of a future integrated, multi-layered, multi-system active defense network, designed to  safeguard Israel in the future against  aerial, rockets and missile threats. Simulating such complex systems  to the finest details, the recent tests enabled defense officials to evaluate how such systems will operate as an integrated network in the future, highlighting technical, operational, doctrinal challenges and requirements to be addressed through the various development and deployment phases.
