Israel to have partial laser defenses by next year - Rafael chair
"One year from now – Israel will be the first country to have partial laser protection. In two years there may be complete protection," said Yuval Steinitz.
Israel's ground-breaking laser system experiment carried out in the south of the country by the Defense Ministry’s Directorate of Research and Development (DDR&D, or MAFAT in Hebrew) and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.
