Israel's Iron Beam is a high-power laser-based missile interceptor system designed to destroy short-range aerial threats such as rockets, mortars, drones, and low-flying aircraft. The system uses advanced “adaptive optics” technology to maintain stable targeting and high precision even over longer distances, with a range of about 10 kilometers. Iron Beam can engage targets almost instantaneously, burning or frying incoming projectiles within seconds of detection.
