News Excerpt:
Israel, for the first time, deployed its ship-mounted defence system, called the C-Dome, against a "suspicious" target that entered the country's airspace.
More about C-Dome:
- The C-Dome is a naval version of the Iron Dome air defence system used to shield against rocket and missile attacks.
- It is mounted on Sa’ar 6-class corvettes, German-made warships, and uses the same interceptor as the Iron Dome.
- C-Dome has three components:
-
- TAMIR interceptors
-
- A modular Vertical-Launch Unit (VLU)
-
- A Command & Control (C2) component.
- C-Dome does not require dedicated radar and uses the ship’s surveillance radar to detect and track threats.
- It is a highly advanced air defence system that ensures high kill probability against a wide range of targets.
- The interceptor of the C-Dome is extremely agile and has a high rate-of-turn, enabling interception of even the most manoeuvrable targets.
