The meeting of the world's advanced economies is said to have been one of the many times that the British Defence Ministry used the Israeli company's combat-proven counter-UAV system since acquiring several of them three years ago
Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems revealed on Monday that the British Ministry of Defence employed Rafael’s Drone Dome counter-UAV system in June to protect world leaders from potential threats during the G7 Summit in Cornwall, England.
The Defence Ministry purchased several Drone Dome systems three years ago, and has successfully employed them in a multitude of operational scenarios, including for protecting both the physical site and participants of this year’s G7 summit, Rafael said.
Drone Dome is an end-to-end, combat-proven counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS), providing all-weather, 360-degree rapid defense against hostile drones. Fully operational and globally deployed, Drone Dome offers a modular, robust infrastructure comprised of electronic jammers and sensors and unique artificial intelligence algorithms to effectively secure threatened airspace, according to the company.
The system's advanced technology allows it to effectively address threats through detection, identification, and neutralization. When Drone Dome identifies a threat, it locks onto the target, tracks it, and carries out either a soft or hard-kill with its unique, integrated laser technology. This laser system operates reliably in any weather condition, and results in minimal environmental damage.
