Israeli sources are claiming that David’s Sling (also known as Magic Wand )Short-Range Ballistic Missile Defense (SRMD)– the IDF's mid-range anti-missile system will be operational ahead of its schedule.
Israel plans to conduct different tests of the David’s Sling Short-Range Ballistic Missile Defense in near future.
It uses a low-cost, short-range interceptor to destroy short-range ballistic missiles and long range rockets with ranges of 70 - 200 km in their terminal phase of flight.. Project was conceived to deal with the proliferating threat of short-range ballistic missiles and long range rockets.
Rafael and Raytheon were awarded contract by the Israel to design and development next-generation hit-to-kill Stunner missile interceptor and associated firing unit, as part of the 'David's Sling' Weapon System (DSWS).
That makes two tiers so far - Iron Dome and David's Sling.
