Israel has been successfully moving towards the development of its "multilayer missile defense" system. It has tested a novel missile defense system named as David's Sling on Sunday. As expected, the system turned out to be a complete success.

The system has been made to target mid range missiles and can cut projectiles which have range up to 300 kilometers. The military said that they have tested the system, and it was able to put down its first missile.

Israel has developed different systems for different range of missiles. For long range missiles, it has developed Arrow systems and short-range rockets will be controlled by Iron Dome. To cite an example, the Iron Dome has been in use to intercept hundreds of rockets that were targeted from Gaza.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that the Gaza example was the one, which proves the importance of such symptoms. The latest system named as David's Sling has been developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems from Israel and Raytheon Co., which is US based firm.

The military officials said that the systems are quite useful and will act as an additional layer to defense system. It has been informed that the Arrow, which is under-making, will be ready for action by 2016.
