Rafael is proud to have successfully completed the largest and most complex live-fire test of the Iron Dome. In partnership with the Israel Missile Defense Organization (IMDO) at the Ministry of Defense, Rafael has concluded a historic test series for the Iron Dome—validating new capabilities against advanced aerial threats, including rockets, cruise missiles, and UAVs. These tests incorporated insights from real-world battlefield scenarios, ensuring that Iron Dome continues to evolve in response to emerging threats. Over the past year and a half, Rafael’s engineers have worked tirelessly to push the system’s performance even further, reinforcing its critical role in Israel’s multi-layered air and missile defense array. Rafael CEO, Yoav Tourgeman: “Even after more than a decade of operational service, Iron Dome remains a cornerstone of Israel’s security. This test campaign—the largest and most significant ever conducted—successfully demonstrated new capabilities that will enhance our ability to protect civilians and strategic assets from evolving threats.” A huge thank you to our exceptional teams at Rafael, the IMDO, and the Israeli Air Force for their dedication and innovation in advancing Israel’s defense capabilities.
