Installed on the Israeli Navy’s Saar 6 Magen corvettes, the system effectively intercepted high-level threats to Israel’s infrastructure and strategic assets within its exclusive economic zone.

Truth and understanding
The Media Line's intrepid correspondents are in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Pakistan providing first-person reporting.
They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
The C-Dome, operated by navy personnel, represents a significant enhancement of the Magen corvettes’ defensive capabilities. This series of tests simulated current and potential threats, including rockets, cruise missiles, and UAVs, demonstrating the system’s efficacy against a range of offensive technologies. The C-Dome also forms part of Israel’s multitier air and missile defense array, which includes the Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow 2, and Arrow 3 systems.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant praised the C-Dome’s contribution to Israel’s defense infrastructure, particularly in the maritime arena. Head of the ministry’s Directorate of Defense Research & Development, Brig. Gen. Dr. Daniel Gold, added that these successful tests serve to improve preparedness for future threats and system performance.
