Morocco has purchased the Israeli “Skylock Dome system”, an anti-drone technology which allows the Royal Armed forces to detect an enemy drone, neutralize it by jamming its signal and destroy it with a laser gun. The announcement was made lately by Israeli newspaper Globes in a story highlighting the huge interest for Israeli defense solutions at Dubai Airshow. Skylock, part of the Avnon Group, is a leader in designing and manufacturing of comprehensive modular anti-drone technologies and counter-measures for detection, verification and neutralization of unauthorized drones. Morocco also mulls acquiring Israeli “Iron Dome” missile-defense system which is capable of intercepting rockets, mortars, artillery shells, aircraft, helicopters, and UAVs. The Israeli military equipment and technologies give Morocco a strategic advantage and superiority in the region, making Algerian Generals, de facto rulers, extremely nervous.
