The Iron Dome

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system developed by Israel to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells before they reach populated areas. It uses radar to detect incoming threats, calculates their trajectory, and if a projectile is headed for a critical location, it launches a guided missile to intercept and destroy it midair. This system enhances safety by preventing damage and loss of life, functioning as a layered shield against missile attacks. It is highly adaptive and effective, providing a significant strategic advantage during conflicts.
