3. Iron Dome (Israel)

Israel's Iron Dome is well-known all around for its extraordinary accuracy at intercepting artillery projectiles and short-range missiles. Engaging only those that would do damage, the system uses advanced radar and software to identify which arriving missiles actually endanger inhabited areas. With Tamir interceptor missiles, which cost much less than equivalent systems, each battery can guard an area of about 150 square kilometres. One of the most successful point defence systems worldwide, the Iron Dome's proven battle record with a success rate over 90% and capacity to run in all weather conditions define it.
