Short Range Ballistic Missile Defense (SRBMD)(David's Sling Weapon System (DSWS))

Abstract

Israeli SRBMD, also known as the DSWS, is designed to counter short range rockets, cruise missiles, and tactical ballistic missiles and is integrated into the Israeli Missile Defense Architecture. The DSWS includes the Stunner Interceptor for Block 2 and a modified Stunner for Block 3 Capabilities, Missile Firing Unit (MFU), Multi-Mission Radar (MMR), Launch Site Controller (LSC), Data Link (DL), Elevated Sensor (ES), and the Golden Almond Battle Management Center (BMC). The United States (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.
