Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, in partnership with Raytheon USA, has designed David’s Sling, an affordable and lethal solution against long-range artillery rockets (LRAR), short-range ballistic missiles (SRBM), cruise missiles (CM) and traditional air defense threats. The system provides optimum protection for the homeland as well as forward deployed forces.

The interception array is comprised of four Missile Firing Units – each one is carrying 16 Stunner interceptors. Stunner is an advanced innovative interceptor that provides a low-cost solution against a large variety of threats. The Stunner’s seeker detects and tracks the most challenging targets in all weather conditions and maintains precision aim-point selection at end-game.  The Stunner’s lethal hit-to-kill effects ensure a wide margin of tactical overmatch against a broad spectrum of air and missile defense threats.
