"At this stage, we disrupt transmission of data to the data processing unit of incoming missiles and reprogramme it with our own information and redirect the missile towards our desirable point," Qolizadeh added.
The advanced technology will be fitted on its air defence systems in the near future.
Iran has been mass producing crucial military equipment and systems for its armed forces.
