David's Sling is an advanced air defense system developed by Israel to intercept short-range threats, such as rockets and drones. It is designed to protect populated areas and critical infrastructure from aerial attacks. The system uses sophisticated radar and tracking technology to identify and engage incoming threats effectively. The system is named after the biblical story of David and Goliath, symbolizing the fight against larger adversaries. David's Sling can target multiple threats simultaneously and is part of Israel's multi-layered defense strategy, which also includes systems like Iron Dome and Arrow.
