Arrow Weapon System

Abstract

Israeli 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 and Arrow-3 missiles and launchers, Citron Tree Battle Management Center (BMC), Green Pine (GP) and Super Green Pine (SGP) Radars, and the Hazelnut Tree Launcher Control Center (LCC). Arrow Block 5 development incorporates a Long Range Detection Suite (LRDS) that consists of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), Airborne Early Warning System (ABEWS) and Sharp Eye Radar for increased sensor range, early detection and enhanced raid size capacity. In addition, an Arrow-4 interceptor will be developed. The program also includes the continued development of Arrow's interoperability with U.S. BMDS. The U.S. 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." (U.S. contributions only). These funds will be distributed between the Israeli Programs in Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) and Procurement Funds.
