The newspaper quoted experts as saying: Israel Despite having one of the best defense systems in the world against… Rockets And missiles, but they have difficulty monitoring Drones Drones that move slower.
According to the newspaper, minutes before the drone attack he launched Hezbollah The attack on a Lebanese military base near Binyamina, northern Israel, resulted in the death of four soldiers and the serious injury of seven others. Police officers informed the Air Force of reports of the presence of a “suspicious” aircraft, but they received a response that the drone was Israeli, which prompted them not to report it. Again.
Last July, it was bombed The Houthis in Yemena residential building in Tel AvivWhich resulted in the death of a civilian.
Earlier this year, Hezbollah also broadcast footage filmed by a drone flying over sensitive installations in Haifawithout being discovered.
The American newspaper, citing experts, says that drones often contain smaller quantities of metals and emit less heat compared to high-speed missiles and missiles, which means that the alerts they monitor are not always raised.
Even when they are spotted, enemy drones are sometimes confused with Israeli ones, including small private aircraft, because they fly at similar low altitudes and speeds.
According to the newspaper, the newspaper quoted Ofer Harofey, the former head of the drone division in… Israeli Air Force “All the systems we have in the Western world – not just Israel – are designed to defend or protect airspace from regular fighter aircraft and missiles,” he said.
“You need to redesign some of these systems to be able to see, detect and track these kind of slow-moving targets,” Harofy added.
It destroys a system Iron Dome The vast majority of missiles launched from Israeli anti-missile systems Gaza And Lebanon, while its Arrow 3 interceptor missiles played a largely effective role in preventing two massive barrages of ballistic missiles that it launched. Iran In April and again this month.
To strengthen these defenses, the United States said on Sunday that it would send to Israel another anti-missile system, the High Area Defense System, or “High Area Defense System.”Thad“.
But experts say the Israeli anti-drone system in particular needs improvement.
Regarding this point, On Fenig, president of R2 Wireless, which designs drone detection systems and works with the Israeli army, says that the Israeli anti-drone system relies primarily on radar, which is primarily designed to detect relatively large metal objects such as aircraft. By sending a signal and receiving its reflected echo.
Fenig explained that there are alternatives, including receivers that passively detect and classify radio waves emitted by a drone, optical sensors that scan the sky for visual signs of such a type of aircraft, and acoustic sensors that detect the sound of the drone’s engine.
He continued, “All of these systems have advantages and blind spots, and Israel needs to combine them in order to build a more powerful drone detection system.”
