ישראל תתקין מערכות לייזר להגנה על מטוסי נוסעים
DefenseNews מדווח שישראל תתקין בשנים הקרובות מערכות לייזר להגנה על מטוסים אזרחיים.
המערכת מתוצרת אל-אופ שמכונה MUSIC פותחה במקור לשימוש במסוקים והיא משתמשת בקרני לייזר כדי "לעוור" ראשי ביות של טילים רודפי חום.
המערכת תחליף מערכת שמבוססת על שיגור של נורים בשם Flight Guard של התעשייה האווירית שיש מדינות שהתנגדו לשימוש בה בגלל שנטען שהיא יכולה לגרום לשריפות (מה עדיף שריפה או מטוס פגוע ?)

Israel will replace the flare-firing systems it has installed on some of its passenger planes to defend against missile attacks with non-pyrotechnic lasers deemed safer abroad, officials said Oct. 10
An Israeli airliner narrowly escaped being shot down by al Qaeda over Kenya in 2003, prompting state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) to develop Flight Guard, a device that detects heat-seeking missiles and diverts them with flares
Flight Guard has been placed aboard a number of Israel El Al Airlines jets. But officials said some foreign states voiced concern at the prospect of fire risk if the flares were deployed over their territory
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s security cabinet said in a statement that development would start on a new system to replace the current one at the start of next year
Officials said the new Israeli system, developed by El-Op, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., will use a laser to “blind” the heat-seekers in shoulder-fired missiles. “Work on the system began three years ago, specifically for helicopters. Adapting it for bigger aircraft, for planes, will, to all appearances, take another two years,” El-Op deputy director Yisrael Anschel told Israel’s Army Radio
A security source said the El-Op system is provisionally called MUSIC (Multi-Spectral Counter MANPADS System) and that its broad-array laser can “take on 1,000 threats at once.”
“It knocks the missile out of the sky, which carries none of the risks of a pyrotechnic system,” the source said.
Flight Guard will remain on some Israeli passenger planes even after the new system is phased in, security officials said
Elta, the IAI subsidiary that produced Flight Guard along with state-owned Israel Military Industries, disputed assessments that the flare system is a potential fire hazard

Israel To Upgrade Air Defenses

Israel announced Oct. 10 that it would install a new system to protect its airspace from terrorist attack and upgrade existing civilian aircraft missile defenses
At a meeting devoted to aviation security, ministers in the security cabinet were briefed about a soon-to-be installed system that will recognize planes flying in Israeli airspace, the prime minister’s office said
The system would identify any plane “in a way that would significantly reduce the danger of unidentified or hijacked airplanes entering Israeli airspace in order to perpetrate terrorist attacks,” it said
Furthermore, the current anti-missile system on Israel’s commercial airline fleet will be upgraded.
“At the start of 2008, development will commence on a new technological system to replace the system presently being installed,” it said, adding that Israel was “the first nation in the world to reinforce its commercial airline fleet against missile attacks
On November 28, 2002, a jetliner from Israeli charter company Arkia came under attack from two missiles that narrowly missed the plane as it took off from Mombasa, Kenya, with 261 passengers on board
In December 2005, the transport ministry confirmed that Israel had begun to equip its national carrier El Al with an anti-missile system.
The so-called Flight Guard system, which was developed by the Israeli arms firm ELTA, costs a million dollars to install on each aircraft.
The system is equipped with thermal sensors which can deflect missiles in a similar fashion to those already installed on combat aircraft.
