U.S. Sees Regional Benefits to Integrated Israeli Missile Shield

摘要

Israel is working to integrate all four layers of its indigenously developed intercepting systems into a single National Command and Control Center, an effort that U.S. officials say will benefit not only U.S. forces in the region, but even allies with no diplomatic ties to the Jewish state. The latest upgrades to the U.S.-Israel jointly funded Green Pine early warning radar and Citron Tree command-and-control system will support a unified Upper Tier network consisting of Israel's operational Arrow-2 missile interceptor and smaller and more agile Ar-row-3, now in development.
