What is an Iron Dome?

The Iron Dome was launched in 2011. While Rafael claims a success rate of more than 90%, with more than 2000 bans, experts agree that the success rate is more than 80%. Rafael says on his website that it could “protect the deployed and commanding forces, as well as the Forward Operating Base (FOB) and urban areas, by combating many indirect and airborne threats”.
How does it work, and what makes it so effective?
The Iron Dome has three main programs that work together to provide a shield in the area where it is used, to manage multiple threats. It has a detection and tracking radar to detect any incoming threats, a military control and weapons control system (BMC), and an archery unit. IBMC is basically a link between the radar and the interceptor arrow. Israel’s Iron Dome intercepts rockets.
