Israel successfully tests Iron Dome missile shield / The Christian Science Monitor - CSMonitor.com
I love this:
"In wartime, such a tool could be crucial. During Israel's war with Lebanon in the summer of 2006, more than 4,000 Katyusha rockets were fired into Israeli territory...The system has radar detection systems that Rafael says quickly pick up missile launches, transmit data to a computerized launch system, and can then quickly determine if a missile should be launched to intercept the rocket. "If the estimated rocket trajectory poses a critical threat, a command is given within seconds and an interceptor is launched," the company writes. The interceptors themselves are maneuverable and have radars of their own to guide them to the target."

What's the betting this isn't about the Katyusha as it is modifying it with a warhead that can easily be aimed at the Parliament building in downtown Iran should Israel detect a missile launch from them? Happy days are here again.
