“This new, advanced system is a great advancement. It will be better suited to all levels of operations and detection issues,” stated Maj. Ofir Walfish, commander of the Israel Air Force [IAF] center that is responsible for the detection of rockets and missiles fired toward Israel. “It's a control system managed by sensors and it was invented by the defense industries and the IAF. It will soon replace the older system.”

One of the new system's main improvements is the ability to create a more precise evaluation of the area under attack within Israel. This will allow earlier alerts that will be activated in specific zones, thus minimizing the disruption of citizens' lives. “We are working around the clock in order to give the most accurate alerts and are happy about this advancement, as it will allow us to do our jobs more effectively,” said Maj. Walfish.
