This is Craddock's first visit to Israel since the deployment last year of

The X-Band has doubled Israel's detection range for incoming missiles or
aircraft. It will work in conjunction with the Arrow anti-missile system,
developed jointly by the U.S. and Israel, which is currently supported by a
less advanced radar system. The X-Band is stationed at the Nevatim base,
which regularly hosts joint air exercises between Israel and the U.S.
