‘Iron Beam’ may Replace Israel’s Current Defense System by 2023

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett declared Wednesday a new laser-based defense system may be placed by 2023. The Iron Beam is an upgrade on the current Iron Dome defense system that interrupts income drones and missiles. It will operate at a fraction of the price of its ancestor. At only $2 per interception, the system is a remarkably more effective option than the current shoot-down system that costs between tens of thousands and millions of dollars to interrupt incoming missiles and drones. That $2 cost comes from the electricity used to power up the laser. Because it has power it can continue to interrupt enemy rockets frequently.
