Drone Dome Israeli Counter Unmanned Air System (C-UAS)

Drone Dome is a counter unmanned air system (C-UAS) anti-aircraft system developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. The system was first displayed in 2016 and joins similar protection systems developed by Rafael such as the Iron Dome. The Drone Dome hosts different sensors including a RADA Electronic Industries RPS-42 radar, a CONTROP Precision Technologies imaging system, and radio signal detectors. An open and modular solution that blocks VHF and UHF drone channels, including GNSS, designed to be used by a single operator. The whole solution is deployed as five elements, including a separate radar, COMMINT/DF RF sensor, an EO/IR sensor, a jammer, and a C2 software/workstation element. The Drone Dome was thought to have been used during the disruption at Gatwick Airport in December 2018. The system was reported to have been deployed in Argentina during the 2018 G20 Buenos Aires summit and the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires. DRONE DOME is an end-to-end solution, providing soft and hard-kill, 360° circular coverage, with a quick response time and a high success rate while inflicting minimal collateral damage.
