Rafael Reveals Metro Dome at World Police Summit in Dubai, UAE

7 March 2023 – Rafael Advanced Defense Systems will be participating in the upcoming World Police Summit at the Dubai World Trade Center, taking place March 7th till the 9th. At the event, RAFAEL’s innovative METRO DOME Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) System will be revealed and will be showcased alongside the combat proven DRONE DOME Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) providing all-weather, 360-degree rapid defense against hostile drones. Together these two systems create a comprehensive solution for low level Airspace management and situational awareness.

METRO DOME UTM System enables airspace management capabilities to authorities & entities. Using fully autonomous UTM, METRO DOME provides a safe and efficient way to manage lower airspace from individual drones to drone fleets flying in crowded skies, responding to real-time dynamic events such as air traffic information, No Fly Zones & flight constraints. Likewise, this system is powered by field-proven AI algorithms, delivering dynamic real-time routing & re-routing, multi-route & fleets optimization, de-confliction with air traffic, max usage of airspace layers, data driven regulation & live data analysis to create a unified aerial situational picture, enabling disparate drones to co-exist and avoid dangers and collisions in the same airspace.

The METRO DOME is compliant with the updated regulations by leading Aviation authority – EU EASA U-Space initiative. With upcoming deployments within leading states and countries in the US, EU, & Asia – METRO DOME is a market leader in deploying scalable, safe & efficient UTM globally.

RAFAEL’s Air and Missile Defense Division Business Development & Marketing Directors will be presenting cutting-edge insights on “UTM trends & C-UAS Challenges” on March 7th at 13:20 in Theater C.

Systems in focus:

METRO DOME: A fully autonomous UTM system which provides a safe and efficient way to manage lower airspace from individual drone to drone fleets flying in the crowded sky, while responding to real-time dynamic events such as air traffic information, No Fly Zone & flight constrains. METRO DOME delivers dynamic real-time routing & re-routing, multi-route & fleets optimization, de-confliction with air traffic, max usage of airspace layers, data driven regulation & live data analysis to unified aerial situational picture, enabling disparate drones to co-exist and avoid dangers and collisions in the same airspace.

DRONE DOME: An innovative end-to-end, combat-proven counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS), providing all-weather, 360-degree rapid defense against hostile drones. Fully operational and globally deployed, DRONE DOME offers a modular, robust infrastructure comprised of electronic jammers and sensors and unique artificial intelligence algorithms to effectively secure threatened air space. DRONE DOME’s artificial intelligence capabilities, along with the advanced laser and sensor systems, provide a more precise picture of the incoming threat. This additional information allows the system both to detect and identify specific threat elements more accurately and engage and neutralize the target faster and more efficiently. The system’s flexibility across military and civil applications offers advanced protection for maneuvering forces, sensitive facilities, border protection, as well as increasingly vulnerable civilian targets like airports and other public facilities.

Both of RAFAEL’s systems will be showcased at booth 6C16.
