    The Iron Dome is an effective mobile air defense system that can intercept short range rockets and artillery shells. It uses a radar to detect incoming projectiles, assesses threats, and launches interceptor missiles to detonate targets in the air. The system can operate day or night in all weather and handle simultaneous attacks. It has a high success rate in intercepting threats and reduces collateral damage compared to other options.
