Arrow-3 canister export possible?


TEL AVIV, Israel - Complex American export rules may make it easier to sell a high-tech weapons system labeled “Made In USA,” rather than those marked “Made In Israel.” Last week, the Mississippi-based subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Stark Aerospace, delivered the first US-built canister for IAI’s Arrow-3 missile defense interceptor. While IAI and Stark, and Boeing - also involved with Arrow-2 - did not publicly acknowledge it, but a source close to the Arrow program told Breaking Defense that producing key components of the weapon system in the US could make it possible to export the system worldwide.
