Abstract
Israeli Upper Tier Interceptor (UTI) Project (MD20): The Upper Tier Program provides the Arrow-3 missile, increasing the system`s capability against advanced medium range threats by providing approximately four times the current Arrow-2 battle space. The primary near term objective is to complete and demonstrate Upper Tier design, and continue Initial Lot Production (ILP) deliveries. This project provides funding for the Upper Tier component of the Arrow Weapon System (AWS) development. The United States through the cooperative effort gains knowledge and experience of the Israeli Defense Forces operation of a multi-layered defense architecture. This project also includes the procurement of the Silver Sparrow Air-Launched Target which is necessary to validate the performance of the Arrow-3 Missile and related Block 5 spiral development activities.
