Rafael Advanced Defense Systems of Israel continues to expand the Iron Dome counter-rocket, artillery and mortar (C-RAM) system (see p. 26). The company unveiled a surface-to-surface derivative called Iron Flame, at the international Conference on Fire and Combined Arms in an Urban Terrain, held recently by Israel's Artillery Corps Association in Zikhron Ya'akov. The low-cost, autonomous weapon, said to weigh "several tens of kilograms," employs an Iron Dome missile interceptor stripped of its advanced proximity seeker and fuze. The weapon retains the maneuverability, accuracy and inflight update capability of the Iron Dome missile. The Iron Flame missile has a modular warhead—fragmentation or penetration—and different seekers for different missions.
