Arrow 3 or Hetz 3 Air Defense Missile System.

The Arrow 3 is the latest development of the Arrow anti-ballistic missile jointly developed by Israel and the United States. An Arrow 3 battery is able to intercept salvos of more than five ballistic missiles within 30 seconds. The Arrow 3 can be launched into an area of space before it is known where the target missile is going. The Arrow 3 is an upgraded variant of the Arrow 2 air defense missile system in service with the Israeli Defence Forces. In November 2007, it was announced that $98 million was to be allocated for the development of Arrow 3. By August 2008 the United States and Israeli governments have initiated the development of an upper-tier component to the Israeli Air Defense Command, known as Arrow 3, "with a kill ratio of around 99 percent". The development is based on an architecture definition study conducted in 2006–2007, determining the need for the upper-tier component to be integrated into Israel's ballistic missile defense system. According to Arieh Herzog, then Director of Israel Missile Defense Organization (IMDO), the main element of this upper tier will be an exoatmospheric interceptor, to be jointly developed by IAI and Boeing. On February 25, 2013, a fly-out test of the Arrow 3 was conducted from Palmachim Airbase. The launch tested the missile control and engines. In January 18, 2017, Israel’s Missile Defense Organization (IMDO) transferred the first operational Arrow-3 anti-ballistic missile interceptors to the Israeli Air Force. According to a statement published on July 28, 2019, by the U.S. Missile Defense Agency, 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. On September 16, 2022, "The Drive" website announced that Germany would have chosen to acquire the Israeli Arrow 3 missile system to strengthen its anti-aircraft defense shield. On September 29, 2022, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz discussed with the German Ministry of Defense Christine Lambrecht about the sale of the Israeli-made Arrow-3 air defense missile system. On March 7, 2023, The Jerusalem Post announced that Germany would shortly take a decision for the purchase of Arrow 3 air defense systems. Information released on April 20, 2023, the Israeli Defense Minister, German Defense Ministry, and the Aerospace Industry are advancing talks and pushing forward the process of finalizing the contract for the sale of the Israeli air defense missile system Arrow 3. On September 28, 2023, Israel and Germany officially signed a deal to move forward with the nearly €4 billion purchase of the Israeli- and American-developed Arrow 3 long-range air defense system. According to information published by the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) on November 4, 2023, the Arrow 3 has successfully intercepted a long-range rocket launched by Hamas towards Eilat, Israel's southernmost city.
