Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has officially introduced its newest high-energy laser system, dubbed the “Iron Beam 450.” This cutting-edge system features a notable upgrade with a 450-millimeter beam director, significantly larger than its predecessor, which had a 250-millimeter aperture.
This enhancement allows the Iron Beam 450 to monitor and engage potential threats from considerably greater distances while also improving accuracy. The increased size of the beam director plays a crucial role in maintaining the laser’s focus over extended ranges, effectively mitigating issues caused by atmospheric disruptions such as turbulence and dust.
The introduction of the Iron Beam 450 represents a significant advancement in laser defense technology, aiming to provide a robust solution for intercepting a range of aerial threats. With these enhancements, Rafael aims to bolster its position in the evolving landscape of defense systems, offering advanced capabilities to meet modern military challenges.
The advancements in the Iron Beam 450 highlight the ongoing commitment to developing innovative technologies that enhance security and defense strategies on a global scale.
