Israel’s Ministry of Defense announced that the Israel Missile Defense Organization and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems have completed a successful series of flight tests of a new and upgraded version of the Iron Dome missile defense system.
The test simulated advanced threats which it may face during times of conflict – whether on land or in the sea, according to a press release issued Monday by the Ministry of Defense.
The official press release also stated that the new and upgraded version of the Iron Dome is expected to be delivered to the Israeli Air Force for operational use. It will also be integrated and installed on the Navy’s Sa’ar 6 corvettes and will be central to the defense of Israel’s economic waters (EEZ).
