Short Range Ballistic Missile Defense (SRBMD)
Abstract
The goal of the Israeli Short Range Ballistic Missile Defense (SRBMD) program, also known as the David's Sling Weapon System (DSWS) is to provide an affordable SRBM, cruise missiles and large caliber rocket defense capability. The current Program Agreement utilizes Research, Development, Test, & Evaluation (RDT&E) funding to develop the capability against large caliber rockets, cruise missiles and short range ballistic missiles and procure material for Initial Lot Production (ILP). The DSWS is comprised of the Stunner Interceptor, Golden Almond Battle Management Center, the Multi-Mission Radar, Launch Site Controller and the Missile Firing Unit. Under the U.S.-Israeli Project Agreement signed in September 2010, the DSWS Program is jointly managed by the U.S. Missile Defense Agency and the Israeli Missile Defense Organization. Responsibilities and cost share are specified in the Project Agreement. Development costs are equitably shared between the U.S. and Israel.
