The defence system agreement will support the efforts to develop an Israeli capability against short-range and theatre ballistic missiles, large-calibre rockets, and cruise missiles.
The project also includes continued development of the Stunner Interceptor to provide lower-tier intercept capability for Israel’s multilayered missile defence system.
The signing of the project agreement implies continued US commitment to the defence of Israel.
