High Beam - Israeli Directed Energy (Laser) System. Interceptor of Rockets, Mortars, Small Drones
Iron Beam is a complimentary capability to the Rafael-built Iron Dome defense system, which uses kinetic interceptors to protect Israel against incoming rockets, mortars, and small drones. The 100+ kilowatt weapon, also made by Rafael, is being funded by the Israeli Ministry of Defense.
While a kinetic interceptor can destroy a target on impact, a laser requires to be held on target for a certain amount of time, and doing so for even a few seconds has potential complications. And if the weather is bad, it can render a laser system ineffective against incoming targets.
IRON BEAM, a 100kilowatt class High Energy Laser Weapon System, is expected to become the first operational system in its class. IRON BEAM is designed to intercept a wide range of threats such as UAVs from a distance of a few hundred meters to up to several kilometers. The system can be integrated on multiple platforms and may be a complementary High Energy Laser interceptor to any multilayer defense array.
Benefits of Iron Beam are as follows:
It Neutralizes a wide range of threats with pinpoint accuracy
• Protects military forces and civilian populations
• Uses an unlimited magazine
• Causes limited collateral damage
• Costs almost nothing per intercept
• Integrates with a variety of platforms and systems
