Since the founding of the State of Israel, protecting the nation has been a defining focus for Technion faculty, students, and alumni. Across generations, they’ve helped shape the country’s defense and security ecosystem through breakthrough science and engineering. Here’s a look at recent innovations that are making a real-world impact in the defense sector.
Deflecting Rockets With Lasers
Developed in part by Technion alumni working for Rafael Advanced Defense Systems
Iron Beam destroys short-range rockets, artillery, and mortar bombs using a laser beam — eliminating the need for expensive missiles and making it more cost-effective than Iron Dome.
