Naval "Iron Dome" The new system is based on the combat-proven "Iron Dome"
interceptor that has already achieved more than 1200 successful
interceptions.
The Naval Point Defense System, C-DOME, is designed to effectively protect
combat vessels against a large set of modern threats. C-Dome handles
saturation attacks by engaging multiple targets simultaneously. Reaction
time is very short and enables automatic and semi-automatic engagements.
The system will be presented at Euronaval, 27-31 October, 2014 in Paris,
France, alongside a comprehensive suite of Rafael's naval vessel defense
solutions for detection, tracking, interception and neutralization of a
variety of threats.
C-Dome components include a multi-round launcher assembly loaded with
vertically-launched canisterised interceptors. The launcher is installed
under the ship deck.
C-Dome utilizes the ship’s own surveillance radar and does not require a
dedicated Fire Control Radar. Weapon System Command and Control is
seamlessly integrated with the ship’s combat management system, facilitating
system operation.
C-Dome has a small footprint and can be integrated on small ships, including
OPVs and small Corvettes.
