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, Lego Shield data interfaces, and Hazelnut Tree Launcher Control Centers (LCC). AWS Block 5 development incorporates a Long Range Detection Suite (LRDS) that consists of an Airborne Early Warning System (ABEWS) for enhanced sensor tracking, discrimination, and raid size capacity. In addition, the Sharp Eye ground-based sensor suite, the Arrow-4 interceptor and the Pine Woods Radar are being developed for integration into future AWS Blocks. The program also includes the continued development of Arrow's interoperability with U.S. Missile Defense System. 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.
