Evaluating iron dome successful but the jury's still out / Rubin, Uzi   Journal Article
Rubin, Uzi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract The "Iron Dome" anti-rocket active defense system was first used by Israel in April 2011 with great technical success. This prompted defense officials to finally make public the strategic objectives and limitations of the system, which, until then, had not been divulged. It also expanded the public debate on missile defense from one that focused on the threat to Sderot and the Gaza envelope communities to a debate that included the threat of longer range rockets on larger cities deep within Israel. It can reasonably be concluded that the Iron Dome system has succeeded in saving lives and reducing damages, thus providing more flexibility to the political leadership for containing the fighting with the Hamas government in Gaza.

UAVs and UGVs have both received a major boost over the last few years thanks to the conflict in Afghanistan.
