Rafael Showcasing Iron Beam for Naval Applications

Our Bureau - : May 2, 2023 - : 9:52 pm

Rafael Advanced Defence Systems is highlighting for the first time at the show, the NAVAL IRON BEAM for maritime applications. The NAVAL IRON BEAM is designed to quickly and effectively engage and neutralize a variety of threats, including short-range ballistic rockets, drones and UAVs of various sizes.

Like its land-based variant, the naval application can be integrated into an existing air defence system such as the IRON DOME, providing a complementary, cost-effective defence solution, in addition to the kinetic air defence capability.

RAFAEL alongside the Ministry of Defence’s Directorate of Defence Research and Development (DDR&D) successfully completed a series of ground-breaking live field tests in March 2022 with the IRON BEAM high-power laser interception system, against steep-track threats. “Evolving threats require dynamic and evolving solutions, the NAVAL IRON BEAM, is an excellent example of such a defense solution. RAFAEL’s naval portfolio is constantly growing, our systems are constantly upgraded and our focus on research and development is rapidly identifying new solutions to current and future challenges. Our exhibition at IMDEX provides a close look at RAFAEL’s excellence in providing the most precise solutions to the most pressing security challenges in the naval arena,” said Executive Vice President Dr. Ran Gozali, Head of the Land and Naval Systems Directorate, Rafael.

Rafael’s unique portfolio of naval systems enables various possible combinations of deployment, fully-tailored to users’ requirements, winning it a number of significant contracts in recent years, including with the Philippine Navy for supply of full solution suite for its FAIC-M vessels, with another leasing Asian navy for the TYPHOON Mk30-c RCWS, and more.

Rafael is also showcasing its newest configuration of the naval application of IRON DOME, known as the C-DOME Mission Module. With C-DOME already tested and operational in the Israeli Navy, Rafael has developed the C-DOME Mission Module concept for local defence applications, providing advanced solutions for OPVs, auxiliary ships, and other naval support ships and assets, enabling them with advanced air defence capabilities, without the need for deck penetration, vessel hull retrofit or complex platform integration. Other systems being showcased include C-GEM, NAVAL SPIKE NLOS, TYPHOON and others.
