The line type = motorized in the armored car archetype is a different kettle of fish. That's what the terms in the wiki refer to.

The Tamir rockets, which travel at subsonic speeds (maybe a couple hundred miles per hour), are not guided by human hands. They come in in 10s and 20s and 30s or more." And, also, it's not like these come in in ones and twos. The engagement timeline, you have to establish control and engage, is very short. "Arguably, one of the most impressive elements of this system is its command and control," says Ian Williams, a fellow in the International Security Program at the Washington-based think tank Center for Strategic & International Studies, and the deputy director of CSIS's Missile Defense Project. in addition to mortar, other artillery and even drones. It does this, too, as Hamas often fires dozens and dozens of rockets at once. What makes Iron Dome so effective is its ability to quickly detect what is a real threat (say, a rocket headed toward the heart of a city, a military base or a deployment of troops) and what isn't (say, a flock of birds or a rocket that is on trajectory to cause no harm), and then fire the Tamir interceptor rockets as needed.Īccording to Raytheon, Iron Dome is designed to detect threats from about 2.5 to 43.5 miles (4 to 70 kilometers) away.


Israel employs several of these batteries, which cover roughly 60 square miles (155 square kilometers) each and reportedly cost $10 million apiece. And the mobile "firing units," each of which contains 20 Tamir rockets that intercept the incoming fire. A control system developed by Israeli firm mPrest that takes the information from the radar, instantly analyzes it and computes next steps. A sophisticated radar that detects incoming threats.

IRON DOME™ Is a multi-purpose combat proven system that detects, assesses and intercepts incoming artillery such as: C-RAM, Cruise Missiles, Precise Guided Missiles (PGM), UAVs, Air Breathing Threats (ABTs) and dense salvos.
