(JNS) Yaakov Lappin - Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems' Drone Dome has been deployed in Dubai, and is also protecting airports, military targets, and borders in a number of NATO states, as well as in Asian countries. The system is also being tested by the U.S. FAA at Atlantic City International Airport. The U.S. military reportedly recommended it for its global combatant commands. The British military has purchased several systems. Drone Dome deals with both swarm attacks and single threats, and has recently been upgraded to deal with heavier military drones. To neutralize a target, the system employs electronic warfare to block the drone's ability to communicate and use GPS navigation. It can also use a laser for a "hard kill" at a range of up to 2 miles.
