The Ministry of Defense, defense industries, and the IDF have developed a tactical laser system for the northern border, which will provide a response to the threat of fiber-optic drones. The system will be deployed soon on the northern border and will be declared operational, designed to deal with drones and miniature aircraft. In the future, additional systems are planned for deployment in the northern sector and other border sectors. The next target is the interception of larger UAVs and cruise missiles. Concurrently, Israeli development of laser systems on aircraft is progressing. A security official emphasized that this is a significant step forward in the maturation of laser capabilities in Israel's air defense.
