Abstract

Israeli Arrow Weapon System (AWS): This system includes block upgrades to the AWS components which enhances capabilities against evolving medium range threats by increasing the total defended area. AWS 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). Also included is the integration of Block 5 assets which include the Arrow-3 missile and launcher. Arrow Block 5 development will also incorporate a Long Range Detection Suite that consists of an unmanned aerial vehicle Airborne Early Warning System (ABEWS) and Sharp Eye Radar for increased sensor range, early detection and enhanced raid size capacity. The program also includes the continued development of Arrow`s interoperability with U.S. BMDS. The United States and State of Israel entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 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.' These funds will be distributed between the Israeli Programs in Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) and Procurement Funds.
