Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) announced Monday that it will soon hold
the first full-scale test fire for the Arrow-3 missile.
The test-fire will see the Arrow launched at a target simulating an advanced
long-range ballistic missile, similar to advanced projectiles whose
interception is more complex.
As previously reported by IsraelDefense, IAI has accelerated the development
of the Arrow-3 ballistic missile defense system, partially with the help of
US funding.
Arrow-3 is meant to intercept long-range missiles, even those carrying
unconventional warheads. Today, two Arrow-2 missile batteries are protecting
Israel against ballistic missiles.
The first Arrow-3 test-fire was held in 2011. Arrow-3 batteries are meant to
be deployed alongside Arrow-2 batteries, and each will be employed according
to a potential threat against Israel.
