Boeing and IAI to Continue Work on Israeli Systems

February 23, 2006 :: News

Boeing and Israel Aircraft Industries have joined forces to develop a short-range ballistic missile defense system for Israel. Boeing and IAI previously worked together on the successful Arrow-2 interceptor project. Now, they will create an all-weather defense against short-range ballistic missiles and long-range artillery rockets. The Israel Missile Defense Organization will select an Israeli-U.S. industry team in March 2006 to complete the risk reduction phase of the project. Full-scale development and production will follow as a cooperative initiative between the IMDO and MDA.
        Missile defense is a high priority for Israel, which has had to withstand not only the Iraqi Scud launches of the Persian Gulf War, but numerous rocket attacks by Palestinian terrorists. (Article)
