Israel-U.S. Arrow Intercept Test

February 22, 2011 :: The Missile Defense Agency :: News

The U.S. Missile Defense Agency and the Israel Missile Defense Organization conducted a joint test of the upgraded Arrow 2 interceptor off the coast of the Point Mugu Naval Airstation in California today. The successful intercept was of a missile similar to what Iran could be expected to launch against Israel. Israel's Green Pine radar system was used in the intercept as well; a missile software upgrade was being tested, and will now be installed system-wide. The Arrow 2 is a component of Israel's multi-layered missile defense—another component of which, the Iron Dome, was tested last week.

 

The next generation of Arrow interceptors, the Arrow 3, is expected to be in operation by 2015. (Article)
