Israel completed the final stage of tests to operationalize the naval “C-Dome” missile defense system for the country’s Sa’ar 6 class of corvettes, Defense News reported.

The Israeli Navy, the Israel Ministry of Defense and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems said in a joint statement that C-Dome successfully completed an advanced interception test aboard the INS Oz, one of the new ships.

The C-Dome is a seaborne configuration of the Iron Dome system that Israel has used on land to intercept thousands of rockets and other threats over the last decade. Israel Aerospace Industries’ Elta makes the radar and mPrest is the command and control systems manufacturer.

“The C-Dome system expertly identified threats and successfully intercepted them by launching Iron Dome interceptors towards them from the sea,” Head of the Israel Ministry of Defense’s Israel Missile Defense Organization, Moshe Patel said in a statement.

Rafael Executive Vice President Ran Gozali, head of the Israeli company’s Land and Naval Systems Directorate, said the C-Dome is the “first operational naval defense solution of its kind.”

The types of targets intercepted was not specified, but in the past Iron Dome has intercepted rockets and also drones and an upgraded version of the system was announced last February.

“The C-Dome System constitutes a significant addition to the Israeli Navy’s defense capabilities in a wide array of missions, including the guarding of strategic assets, the Exclusive Economic Zone, and maintaining the regional maritime superiority of the State of Israel,” the joint statement said.
