| [Jerusalem Post] The new Drone Dome C-UAS system of Israeli defense company Rafael, which uses laser technology to intercept maneuvering targets, performed successfully in all scenarios upon recent testing. The system managed to use target detection, identification, and interception with a high-power laser beam, proving to be a solution for securing air space from hostile drones. The new infrastructure is modular and is made up of electronic jammers and sensors which allow for total neutralization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The system is now fully operational and deployed globally. |

| #6 The system is now fully operational and deployed globally. Globally? Is Israel providing the system to others? I wonder what the range is of these weapons? One of the articles said an effective range of 2 kilometers for one of the laser systems. If mounted on a plane, I could see a scenario such as: "Isaac, we missed the target. Adam: Damn, we vaporized a school bus." |

| #5 Here's thought - put a healthy bounty on every balloon shot down and open it up to private citizens. I'm guessing no more balloon problem. |

| #3 As I have asked before. Can it pop the balloons coming over the border? |
