Israeli Cooperative Programs

Abstract

Since 1986, the United States and the State of Israel have cooperated on missile defense. Currently, Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has three major projects with Israel to develop and improve their indigenous capability to defend against short and medium range ballistic missiles. These include Upper Tier Interceptors (MD20), the Arrow Weapon System (MD26) and the Short-Range Ballistic Missile Defense, also known as the David's Sling Weapon System (MD34). Within these projects MDA develops and produces weapon systems, conducts tests, and exercises interoperability between U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) and the Israeli Missile Defense Architecture. The United States and State of Israel will enter a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in which `Such funding, should over a ten year period beginning in FY 2019 and ending in FY 2028, be provided at a level of $500 million per year.' These funds will be distributed between the Israeli Programs in RDT&E and Procurement Funds.
