Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
Israeli AWS: This system includes block upgrades to the AWS components which enhance capabilities against evolving medium-range threats by increasing the total defended area. AWS elements include the Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 missiles and launchers, Citron Tree Battle Management Center (BMC), Green Pine (GP) and Super Green Pine (SGP) radars, Lego Shield data interfaces, and Hazelnut Tree Launcher Control Centers (LCC). AWS Block 5 development incorporates a Long Range Detection Suite that consists of an Airborne Early Warning System (ABEWS) for enhanced sensor tracking, discrimination, and raid size capacity.
The MDA - U.S. Israeli Cooperative Program Office jointly manages the Arrow Program with Israeli Missile Defense Organization (IMDO) to ensure that all systems are delivered with quality, on time, on budget, and meet the needs of the warfighter. The program funding is equitably funded between the U.S. and Israel with Israel providing matching contributions. However, a portion of the Israeli cost share comes from non-financial contributions such as previously completed work prior to joint program initiation. Contracts are awarded by IMDO or MDA, dependent on what is most advantageous to the Joint Governments. In regard to AWS, IMDO contracts on behalf of U.S. government with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). IAI subcontracts with Israeli and U.S.

In addition, the Sharp Eye ground-based sensor suite, the Arrow-4 interceptor and the Pine Woods Radar are being developed for integration into future AWS Blocks. The program also includes the continued development of Arrow's interoperability with U.S. Missile Defense System. The U.S. and State of Israel entered into a Memorandum of Understanding in 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 and Procurement Funds.

What project MD34 buys
Israeli SRBMD, also known as the DSWS, is designed to counter short range rockets, air breathing threats, medium caliber rockets, and theater ballistic missiles, and is integrated into the Israeli Missile Defense Architecture. The DSWS includes the Stunner Interceptor (Electro-Optical variant), a Missile Firing Unit, a Multi-Mission Radar - Next Generation (MMR-NG), a Launch Site Controller, a Ground Data Link (GDL), and the Golden Almond Battle Management Center (GA BMC). The DSWS can be deployed in a variety of configurations to support the intended mission. The DSWS Block 3 capability expands the range and threat versatility of the system by adding the All Weather Stunner Interceptor, improving the MMR-NG, upgrades to GDL and increasing the capacity of the GA BMC. The U.S. and State of Israel entered into a Memorandum of Understanding 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 and Procurement Funds.
