Historic First Operational Interception by Israel’s Arrow 3 Defense System

Israel's Arrow 3 air defense system achieved its first operational interception by successfully downing a missile over the Red Sea, apparently launched from Yemen towards Eilat.

The Israel Missile Defense Organization (IMDO) of the Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D) and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) completed a successful flight test campaign with the Arrow-3 Interceptor missile. Flight Test Arrow-01 demonstrated the Israeli Arrow Weapon System’s ability to conduct a high altitude hit-to-kill engagement. Interceptor tests were conducted that successfully destroyed target missiles. These test were conducted at Pacific Spaceport Complex-Alaska (PSCA) in Kodiak, Alaska.

Israel’s Arrow 3 air defense system achieved its first operational interception by successfully downing a missile over the Red Sea, apparently launched from Yemen towards Eilat. This marks the first operational use and interception by the Arrow 3 missile, a significant advancement from the older Arrow 2 system, which had been used in previous interceptions.
  

Key Points: 

  1. First Operational Use: The Arrow 3 system was used operationally for the first time to intercept a missile.
  2. Interception Location and Target: The intercepted missile, believed to be launched from Yemen, was heading towards Eilat and was downed over the Red Sea.
  3. Advancement Over Arrow 2: This incident demonstrates a technological leap from the Arrow 2 system, which had been employed in earlier interceptions.
  4. Deployment and Capabilities: The Arrow 3 system, deployed since 2017, is designed to destroy ballistic missiles outside of the Earth’s atmosphere.
