RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems has developed Iron Dome, the world's only dual mission counter rocket, artillery and mortar (C-RAM) and Very Short Range Air Defense (VSHORAD) system. Iron Dome is an affordable, effective and innovative defense solution (CRAM class), designed for quick detection, discrimination and interception of asymmetric threats such as short-range rockets (up to 70 km), mortars, and artillery shells, and also serves as a VSHORAD Missile System against traditional Air Defense targets (aircraft, helicopters, UAVs and PGMs). The system provides the low layer of Israel's Multi-Layered Air & Missiles Defense umbrella.
