Israeli ARROW Program
Abstract
This project includes funding for the Arrow Weapon Improvement System (ASIP), Israeli Test Bed (ITB) and the Israeli Systems Architecture and Integration (ISA&I). The Arrow Weapon System (AWS) continues development of Block 4. Also included is the integration of Block 5 assets which consists of the Arrow-3 missile, launcher and the Long Range Detection Suite (LRDS). The LRDS consists of an unmanned aerial vehicle Airborne Early Warning System (ABEWS) and a S-Band Silver Oak radar for increased sensor range and early detection and enhanced salvo engagement capability. The AWS provides Israel an indigenous capability to defend against short and medium range ballistic missiles. The ASIP effort will enhance the performance of the AWS to defeat longer-range and more robust ballistic missile threats expected to be introduced in the Middle East in the near future. ASIP elements include the Arrow-2 missile and launcher, Citron Tree Battle Management Center (BMC), Green Pine (GP) and Super Green Pine (SGP) Radars, and the Hazelnut Tree Launcher Control Center (LCC). The ASIP also ensures AWS interoperability via Joint Tactical Information Data System (JTIDS) Link-16 common communication architecture with the U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense System elements such as Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), AEGIS, Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC), Army Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance and Control (AN/TPY-2), and Phased Array Tracking Intercept of Target (PATRIOT) through ground tests, flight tests, and operational exercises. The Israeli Test Bed (ITB) provides experiments to evaluate Human Machine Interface (HMI) battle management. Israeli Systems Architecture and Integration (ISA&I) conducts studies to assess Israel's future 2025 Missile Defense Architecture. The ITB and ISA&I efforts will continue to support AWS development as well as to define future missile defense architectures and growth paths.
