Iron Dome intercepting 12 missiles simultaneously.
Design. In 2005, Brig. Gen. Danny Gold, then head of Maf'at, decided to start the program that would include the system's research and a demonstration of the intercepting system. In 2007, Israel commissioned the development of Iron Dome, choosing Israeli contractor Rafael over the American giant Lockheed Martin. The Iron Dome Weapon System works to detect, assess and intercept incoming rockets, artillery and mortars. Raytheon teams with Rafael on the production of Iron Dome's Tamir interceptor missiles, which strike down incoming threats launched from ranges of 4-70 km.
