How Israel Is Redefining Aerial Defense

Israel’s air‑defense network, now operating in tandem with U.S. forces, has shifted from theory to live combat. A layered architecture—Arrow 3, Arrow 2, THAAD, David’s Sling and Iron Dome—covers the full altitude spectrum, intercepting missiles before they reach civilian areas. Joint command centers provide shared situational awareness, enabling real‑time decision‑making. The integrated system is delivering a 92% interception rate, curbing both casualties and the volume of incoming fire.
