Kobus points to a Jerusalem Post article that claims that the Israeli Iron Dome ATBM system will be deployed by 2010.

According to the same article, Iron Dome’s deployment is part of a multi-phase deployment of defences against ballistic missile and tactical rockets:

A second system, called David’s Sling and under development by Rafael and Raytheon to intercept medium-range rockets, would be operational within four years, he said. Shortly afterwards, the Arrow 3 – an advanced version of the current long-range system in IAF operation – would be declared operational.
