David’s Sling wins tech prize at US conference
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israeli David’s Sling medium-range anti-missile system was given an award recognizing its groundbreaking achievement at a security conference in the United States.
The system was crowned with the Technology Pioneer Award at the 2017 Multinational Ballistic Missile Defense confab in Boston.
The David’s Sling, also known as the Magic Wand, is designed to shoot down incoming missiles with ranges of 40-300 kilometers (25-190 miles), meaning it can be used against Hamas’s longer-range rockets, but would more likely be deployed against missiles fired by Hezbollah or Syria, such as the Iranian Fateh 110 or its Syrian equivalent, the M600.
