One of the defense industry products that we have heard almost the most recently is the Iron Dome. There is a lot of praise and criticism for this close-range air defense system, which Israel describes to the whole world as ‘there is no better’.
It is in the mid-1980s that Israel began to work to protect itself against ballistic missiles. Of course, as you can imagine, the United States is at the forefront of this. A memorandum of understanding is being signed with the United States and work has begun. In this process, the first anti-missile system is being built, with the United States taking over 80 percent of the cost. After that, this system is being gradually developed and the United States provides full support at every stage.
You see, Israel is not empty-handed. However, the most important problem is that the threat cannot be fully solved with the ones at hand. You cannot see, lock and destroy cheap rockets sent from a very, very close distance to you, from a very low altitude, with very low radar visibility, with your air defense systems worth hundreds of millions. The issue of the appearance of the Iron Dome is exactly this problem.
The Iron Dome is the system located at the bottom of Israel's air defense umbrella. after the firing of more than 4 thousand rockets from the south of Lebanon to the north of Israel during the war in 2006 and the devastating consequences of this, it began to be developed by the Rafael company.
Let's say that the United States also provides both technological and economic support for the Iron Dome. Let's even remind that the US side signed an agreement for the production of this system on its own territory in 2020, ordered two batteries from the system and continue…
First, let's try to explain the Iron Dome in its most general form... The system basically consists of three main components. Radar, command and control center and missile launch system.
Now let's take a closer look at these components. Let's take the radar first. A target detection and tracking radar with highly advanced sensors is being used on the Iron Dome. This radar has a large number of active and passive sensors. Its main task is to detect very quickly every object fired in the area it is monitoring. Classifying and tracking him.
With this advanced radar, Israel provides detection of incoming rockets and projectiles, calculates their trajectories, and please pay attention here, clarifies their estimated point of impact. It is not limited to this, but also finds the position where the detected rocket was fired.
