Israeli Cooperative Programs

Abstract

Since 1986, the United States (U.S.) and the State of Israel have cooperated on missile defense. Currently, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has two major projects with Israel to develop and improve their indigenous capability to defend against short range rockets, cruise missiles, and short and medium range ballistic missiles. These include the Arrow Weapon System (MD26) and the Short Range Ballistic Missile Defense David's Sling Weapon System (MD34). Within these projects MDA along with Israeli Missile Defense Organization develops and produces weapon systems, conducts tests, and exercises interoperability between the U.S. Missile Defense System and the Israeli Missile Defense Architecture. The U.S. and State of Israel entered into a Memorandum of Understanding on September 2016, 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." (U.S. contributions only). These funds will be distributed between the Israeli Programs in Research Development Test & Evaluation and Procurement Funds.
