The Arrow anti-ballistic missile system will shortly hold the first test of its kind, in which it will be fired at a real Scud missile over the Pacific Ocean. The Scud will be launched from a US test site in California, while the Arrow will be launched from an island. The launch's direction, payload and range will exactly mimic actual Scud and Arrow missiles.
An Israel Air Force Arrow missile system was sent a few ago to the US by ship for installation at the test site. The Scud launcher was also set up, and the test will be conducted soon.
<b>Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI), the Arrow's chief contractor, wants to market it to friendly countries. It has been offered to Turkey and India, but the only component sold so far is the Green Pine radar system, sold to India and based on its border with Pakistan. </b> <!--emo&:cool--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/specool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='specool.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Last week, IAI signed an agreement to jointly develop an anti-missile missile system with Europe missile manufacturer MBDA. IAI wants to exploit the agreement to penetrate the European market and sell the Arrow as a European product.
