(Worthy News) – The Israeli government is set to sign an important new deal with Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems company for the purchase of a ground-breaking personal laser defense system to protect infantry soldiers serving with the Israel Defense Forces, Ynet News reports.
The IDF is expected to take possession of the new system as early as next year.
“The system can neutralize threats such as anti-tank missiles and kamikaze drones targeting soldiers by using a laser beam to burn and destroy the threat mid-air automatically, whether the troops are maneuvering in enemy territory or on routine border security missions,” Ynet explained in its report.
The active laser-based defense system will likely be issued to elite units and combat brigades only at first, and is expected to reduce the IDF’s overall operational costs: each laser activation will cost just a few dollars.
“Rafael managed to develop solutions for atmospheric disturbances and concentrate energy into a laser beam capable of striking a target the size of a coin, neutralizing it by unifying multiple beams into a single one before impact,” security sources told Ynet.
“This is even simpler than for shorter ranges than long ones, fit for infantry defense.”
