David’s Sling is slated to become part of Israel’s new “multi-layered rocket and missile defense” system, joining the Arrow system, which defends against long-range ballistic missiles, and the highly successful Iron Dome system, which defends against short-range and medium-range rockets.

“The successful test is a major milestone in the development of the David’s Sling Weapon System and provides confidence in future Israeli capabilities to defeat the developing ballistic missile threat,” the Israeli Defense Ministry said.
