Arrow shoots straight and true.


The Arrow weapon system being developed by IAI MLM, IAI Elta, Tadiran Systems and Rafael recently completed another successful test, this to examine the missile's interception envelope and test an integration operational configuration with two missile batteries engaging the target from different locations. This event marked the first night-time test in this series thus far and is a part of the Arrow System Improvement Program being carried out by Israel and the US. In addition to being the 14th successful Arrow 2 test (out of 15 carried out so far), it also was the first of the Arrow 2 M4 Block 3 developed by IAI and Boeing (remember that IAI is now Israel Aerospace Industries). As in earlier tests, the target was a Rafael Black Shadow launched by an F-15I which, upon launch, flew above the atmosphere and descended to mimic a Shahab attack profile, and as usual tracking was effected by Green Pine radars. The attack was head-on.
