Rafael is headlining its participation at DSEI 2025 in London with the first public unveiling of the IRON BEAM 450, a new high-energy laser beam director.
Yoav Tourgeman, CEO and President of Rafael:
“The unveiling of the IRON BEAM 450 at DSEI shows how breakthroughs in high power laser technology revolutionize the air defense equation enabling very low cost, high efficiency interceptions. Alongside our air defense, TROPHY, counter-UAS, and naval systems, Rafael is delivering integrated solutions that meet the needs of today and prepare for the challenges of tomorrow.”
The IRON BEAM 450 extends Rafael’s laser portfolio with greater range, speed of interception, and a sustainable cost-per-engagement model. It joins the company’s High Energy Laser Weapon System family, which also includes the mobile IRON BEAM-M, the Naval IRON BEAM, and the compact LITE BEAM™. Together these systems provide a layered set of integrated directed-energy solutions as part of national air defense architecture.
Multi-Layered Air Defense
Rafael will also present its complete air and missile defense framework, which integrates:
- IRON DOME® for short-range aerial threats
- DAVID’S SLING®, co-developed with the United States, for long-range interception
- SPYDER® family for mobile medium range air defense
- MIC4AD™ situational awareness and command-and-control system
- SKY SPOTTER™ passive surveillance
- DRONE DOME® counter-UAS solution
This structure allows countries to cost effectively tailor layered defenses to their needs while ensuring interoperability with allied forces.
TROPHY Active Protection
On the land domain, Rafael will feature TROPHY, the world’s first and only operational active protection system for armored vehicles. TROPHY is deployed on main battle tanks and armored fighting vehicles with several armies, protecting crews and platforms against anti-armor threats and establishing APS as a core requirement for maneuver forces.
Counter-UAS Systems
Rafael’s stand will also include its counter-UAS portfolio: DRONE DOME®, LITE BEAM™, SPECTRUM DOME™, SAMSON™ 30mm, GHOST HUNTER™, and HUNTER EAGLE™. These systems provide layered protection against drones, swarms, and loitering munitions and can be deployed rapidly to secure forces and infrastructure.
Maritime Defense
Rafael’s naval suite includes:
- C-DOME™, the maritime variant of IRON DOME®
- Naval IRON BEAM™
- TORBUSTER™ anti-torpedo defense
- C-GEM™ electronic warfare decoys
These systems give navies scalable options to protect vessels in both littoral and open-sea operations, with open-architecture design supporting integration across fleets.
