Israel's Iron Dome air defense system is designed to defend against short-range rocket and artillery attacks. The system entered service in 2011 and is used to defend Israel against rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip.
Iron Dome plays an important role in Israel's defense. The system helps protect Israel's civilian population from rocket attacks.
Iron Dome consists of two main components: Radar and Missiles. The radar determines the speed, direction and altitude of the target. The missile destroys the target.
The Iron Dome radar has a 360-degree field of view. The radar determines the speed, direction and height of the target. This information is used to help the missile hit the target.
When the radar detects the target, it sends a command to launch the missile. The missile follows the radar track of the target and moves towards it.
Iron Dome missiles are active radar-guided missiles. The missile follows the radar signature of the target and moves towards it. When the missile hits the target, it explodes and destroys it.
The Iron Dome is an effective defense system against short-range rocket and artillery attacks. The system destroys targets with a success rate of approximately 90%.
The effectiveness of Iron Dome has been evaluated in various studies. According to these studies, Iron Dome is effective against the following attacks: rocket attacks from Israel's Gaza Strip, rocket attacks from the Sinai Peninsula, artillery attacks used in the Syrian civil war
Some technical features of the Iron Dome are as follows: Range: up to 4 kilometers Service altitude Up to 7 kilometers Targeting method: Active radar homing Missile weight 90 kilograms Missile length 3 meters
In addition to Israel, the Iron Dome has been purchased by countries such as the United States, India and South Korea.
The Iron Dome System, developed by Israel to be an effective defense system against short-range rocket and artillery attacks, continues its mission successfully.
