Israeli missile defense system ** "Iron Dome"** (Iron Dome) received a significant upgrade after a series of successful tests conducted jointly with the Israel Missile Defense Organization (IMDO), the Defense Research and Development Authority (DDR&D) and the company **Rafael Advanced Defense Systems**. The updated version of the system is ready to counter an expanded range of threats, including ballistic missiles, guided missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The recent tests, which ended in 2025, became part of the Iron Dome's adaptation program to modern challenges. The system has demonstrated high accuracy in intercepting targets in difficult conditions, including massive missile volleys and maneuvering UAVs. According to the developers, the updated data processing algorithm makes it possible to recognize and destroy threats at ultra-low altitudes, which is critically important for protecting cities and infrastructure.
Special attention was paid to the integration of the system with offshore platforms. The ship's modification **C-Dome**, tested in 2023, is now capable of providing protection not only on land, but also in coastal areas. This expands the coverage area of the system, making it a key element of Israel's multi-level missile defense, which also includes the **David's Sling** and **Arrow complexes.**
In ten years, the Iron Dome has gone from an experimental technology to one of the symbols of Israeli security. After the modernization in 2015, the system learned how to deal with drones, and in 2020-2021 it was able to intercept hypersonic targets. Today, its capabilities allow not only to protect civilians, but also to neutralize threats in real time, which is confirmed by the experience of combat operations.
