November 2010 Interview with Mr. Lova Drori, Executive Vice President, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems

Iron Dome is a mobile air defense system in development by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems designed to intercept short-range rockets and artillery shells. The system is being created as a defensive countermeasure to the rocket threat against Israel's civilian population on its northern and southern border, and is expected to be deployed by the first quarter of 2011. It is designed to intercept very short-range threats up to 40 kilometers in all-weather situations.

David's Sling, also sometimes called Magic Wand, is an Israel Defense Forces military system being jointly developed by the Israeli defense contractor Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and the American defense contractor Raytheon, designed to intercept medium-to-long range rockets and slower-flying cruise missiles, such as those possessed by Hezbollah, fired at ranges from 40 km to 300 km.

They are very costly

Actually, the Davids Sling is much cheaper, only 20% out of the 2 million dollars PATRIOT 3 missile, just 400,000$
If you want something against ICBMs (the Davids Sling can compete against shorter range BM) you should buy the Arrow 3, which is also an Anti Satellite missile and blows up the missile above enemy land.

Can David's Sling be used against short ranged tactical missile say 'Nasr'?

 

[Beny Karachun]

Can David's Sling be used against short ranged tactical missile say 'Nasr'?

Yes, its a very slow missile, also its altitude isn't high at all.
the Davids Sling was desgined to intercept hypersonic cruise missiles like the Iskander, and up to MRBMs
Its less effective against other missiles because it is slower compared to them.

Its armed with a nuclear warhead and its cheap to produce, but it have very short range although its CEP is large and nuclear warhead is small. very small.
