High-energy laser (HEL) systems are emerging as a pivotal layer in modern air defence strategies. As threats grow more agile, diverse and frequent – from swarming UAVs to short-range rockets – militaries are increasingly turning to cost-effective, sustainable methods of interception.
HEL technology now offers high-capacity, low-cost engagement options that enhance traditional defences and reduce dependence on finite missile inventories.
Among the companies advancing this capability is Rafael, which has made HEL systems a key strategic focus within its broader layered defence portfolio.
In this first episode of a two-part special series, we talk with Gideon Weiss, Rafael’s vice president of business development and marketing, and Dr R, a Senior Systems Engineer in laser systems in Rafael’s Land and Naval Systems Division.
