Israeli defense company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems announced that it has successfully conducted another advanced field test of its Typhoon 30 Remote Weapon Station (RWS) in Israel. The test focused on the system’s ability to counter unmanned aerial threats and demonstrated its modular deployment capabilities.
In its announcement, the company stated that the test showcased the system's enhanced ability to neutralize drones at various ranges and demonstrated its modular adaptability on a 20-foot modular surface.
RAFAEL describes the Typhoon 30 as a combat-proven system that continues to evolve in response to operational needs across multiple environments. It is designed to protect critical infrastructure and military positions against a growing range of low-cost and easily deployed aerial threats.
The increasing threat posed by commercial and military-grade drones has driven many defense manufacturers to accelerate the development of short-range air defense systems. In October 2024, we reported that the Israeli Ministry of Defense was expediting the development of advanced interception technologies against UAVs. As part of this effort, the ministry conducted a first-of-its-kind operational test at a testing field in southern Israel, featuring participation from eight Israeli defense companies—including Elbit, IAI, and RAFAEL—which presented a variety of interception solutions, including Rafael’s Typhoon 30 system.
