	Arrow missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Arrow Interceptor (טיל חץ, Hebrew: "Khetz") is a theater missile defense (TMD) system; it is the first missile that was specifically designed and built to intercept and destroy ballistic missiles on a national level.
		The Arrow ABM system was designed and constructed in Israel with financial support by the United States in a multi-billion dollar development program (said to be $2,000,000,000 USD to date).
		The system was designed and constructed after the massive failure of the anti-aircraft Patriot missile system to properly intercept and destroy the Scud missiles fired by Iraq during the first Gulf War in 1991.

		While the threat posed by ballistic missiles has been a concern for Israel since the mid-1980s, Iraqi ballistic missile attacks during the Gulf War in 1991 underscored the danger posed by the buildup of missile technology in the region.
		Arrow II is intended to satisfy the Israeli requirement for an interceptor for defense of military assets and population centers and will support US technology base requirements for new advanced anti-tactical ballistic missile technologies that could be incorporated into the US theater missile defense systems.
		The missile was launched from a ship at sea as well, however, the same causes for the previous tests' abortion reappeared, resulting in the abortion of this test as well.

	The Arrow Missile Program
		Arrow's design is optimized for the specific requirements of Israel's operational environment.
		It is supposed to detect and track missiles as far away as 300 miles and then disable the incoming warhead by exploding within 40 to 50 yards of the target.
		On November 1, 1999, a successful test of the Arrow was conducted by the Israeli Air Force and Israel deployed the first battery of Arrow missiles on March 14, 2000.

		Area residents feared electromagnetic radiation from the Arrow's Green Pines radar, forcing a task force by the MOD and the Ministry of Environment to investigate the possibility of carcinogenic effects.
		In the meanwhile, the Arrow's accuracy in war-time circumstances is uncertain.
		The Arrow's intercept altitude is 40 kilometers to 100 kilometers, since it is planned to provide terminal-phase missile defense, would intercept missiles at the end of their trajectories.

	JINSA Online -- The Story of the Arrow
		Raviv's idea for developing an anti-ballistic missile system was based on three criteria: the system must be able to protect the entire country, to counter all types of non-conventional threats (nuclear, biological and chemical), and its destructive accuracy must be 99.999 percent.
		The intercepting missile, as Raviv saw it, would be about seven meters in length and would be capable of shooting down ballistic missiles at an altitude exceeding 50 kilometers.
		The IDF is aware that there is no alternative solution to missiles and that as the range of missiles increases the chances of knocking out their launchers using special forces or the air force will decrease.

	Arrow TMD
		While the threat posed by ballistic missiles has been a concern for Israel since the mid-1980s, Iraqi ballistic missile attacks during the Gulf War underscored the danger posed by the buildup of missile technology in the region.
		The Phase II ARROW Continuation Experiments (ACES) Program was a continuation of Phase I, and consisted of critical lethality tests using the Arrow I interceptor with the Arrow II warhead and the design, development and test of the Arrow II interceptor.
		In the Arrow program, the challenge the United States faces is to transfer capabilities to defend against missile attacks without releasing technologies for manufacturing missiles.

	Arrow TMD
		The missile successfully intercepted a short-range target during tests at the Point Mugu Sea Range in Calif. This was the twelfth Arrow intercept test and the seventh test of the complete Arrow system.
		The first battery of the Arrow missiles is deployed in the center of the country, with the newly developed missile defense system entering operation on 12 March 2000.
		Although the Arrow 2 interceptor could possibly achieve a range of 300 km, it is designed for intercepts at shorter ranges, and it is unclear whether it could carry a 500-kg payload to the 300-km range specified in the MTCR.

		Mid- and long-range ballistic missiles are a relatively recent factor in the strategic equations of the Middle East.
		In the first phase of the development of the Arrow missile (1988-1992), $158 billion was earmarked for the project, of which the US contributed 70 per cent.
		It was determined that maintaining the Arrow's indispensable velocity capacity required an auto-pilot to enable it to accelerate within seconds and there would have to be a complex space-borne electronic monitoring system to help the missile accomplish its mission as quickly as possible.

		Missile Defence is important since Yashwant Sinha and George Fernandes and BJP Defence Cell Chief Lt Gen N S Malik speak of attacking Pakistan, and then retract it in the next breath.
		An Arrow battery is equipped with typically four or eight launch trailers, each with six launch tubes and ready-to-fire missiles, a truck mounted Hazelnut Tree Launch Control Centre, a truck mounted communications centre, a trailer mounted Citron Tree fire control centre and the units of a mobile Green Pine radar system.
		The Pakistani missiles as distinct from the Iraqi or Iranian ones can be tipped with nuclear warheads, which are less vulnerable and could be too tough for the Arrow.

		Israel's Arrow missile interceptor will soon be put to the test when it is launched against a real incoming Scud missile at a naval base in California.
		The Arrow interceptors will be fired at the appropriate time by computer command, with the goal of blasting the incoming missile over the ocean.
		Security sources are convinced the Arrow, which can travel at nine times the speed of sound to intercept hostile missiles as far as 50 kilometers from their targets, could intercept any missile fired from Iraq or Iran, including Scuds.

		The Arrow 2 is designed to provide terminal phase defense against short and medium-range missiles, the kinds that Pakistan possesses.
		Arrow 2 can detect and track up to 14 incoming missiles as far away as 500 kilometers and intercept them as close as 16 to 48 kilometers away.
		Indian analysts insist that the Arrow 2 has no relevance in the context of the present India-Pakistan crisis, and the two issues must be separated completely.

	Israel, US Conduct Successful Test Of Arrow Missile
		Israel developed the $2.2 billion Arrow with American assistance in response to the failure of American Patriot missiles to down the 39 Iraqi Scuds fired at Israel during the 1991 Gulf War.
		The Iranian missile travels nearly three times as fast as a Scud and considerably faster than the missiles the Arrow system was designed to intercept.
		However, Arrow engineers say the system marks a quantum advance over the Patriot, an anti-aircraft system imperfectly adapted to down ballistic missiles such as Scuds, which travel faster than planes but are unable to reach space.

		One is the Arrow would intercept at a higher altitude, and I think it's going to be in the general vicinity of 10 to 20 miles' altitude, whereas the Patriot allowed the Scud missile to descend to within a fairly close distance to Earth.
		The Arrow has a computer code and a basic maneuvering capability that's much better suited to the high-speed descent of a ballistic missile.
		I think the Arrow has a much better chance and will probably be more in the 50-50 ballpark, as I said before.
