Israel finishes testing new missile system built with $150mn US aid

‘A new Israeli mid-range missile interceptor developed in cooperation with the US has successfully passed its final trials and is expected to enter service next year, Israel’s Defense Ministry said.

A missile defense system called David’s Sling is designed to intercept a wide range of targets, from rocket artillery strikes, to aircraft, to low-flying ballistic missiles, at ranges of between 100 and 200 kilometers.It is expected to fill the operational gap between Israel’s short-range Iron Dome system and the Arrow ballistic interceptor, which are already in use.

According to the Israeli Defense Ministry, the new system will be further developed in order to be capable of intercepting unmanned aircraft, Israel’s Haaretz reported.’
