Missile Firing
Is Successful

Tel Aviv (JTA) — The fifth
test-firing of the Israeli-built
Arrow anti-missile missile
was carried out over the
Mediterranean last weekend
in what was described as a
successful launch.
The planned test of the
Arrow, or Hetz in Hebrew,
had been postponed twice
last week, once because of a
computer malfunction and
again because of unsuitable
weather.
The launching took place
in calm weather and clear
skies, with another Arrow
serving as a target, launched
from the coast and headed
out to sea.
The test Arrow, launched
from a ship at sea, locked
onto the simulated incoming
missile and passed within a
few yards of the target.
Design engineers stressed
that the test was not
necessarily intended to be a
direct hit. The test Arrow
was not equipped with a
warhead, which under com-
bat conditions would have
detonated in the vicinity of
the target and destroyed it.
Israel Aircraft Industries,
the missile's main contrac-
tor, described the launch as
successful.
The United States has fi-
nanced 80 percent of the de-
velopment and construction
costs of the Arrow as part of
its so-called "Star Wars"
defense program.
Israeli and U.S. engineers
were already examining the
launch data to ascertain how
all the missile components
were working.
The last test launch was
carried out last September,
but without a dummy target.
Previous tests have
revealed problems involving
navigation and remote con-
trol capabilities.
Experts warn that many
years of work and further
large sums of money are still
required before the Arrow
becomes fully operational
and can provide Israel with
defense against incoming
Scud missiles and other
weapons.
The American Patriot mis-
sile used against Scuds in
the Persian Gulf War was
designed for defense against
aircraft and was only press-
ed into use against missiles
because of the absence of any
other alternative. The mis-
sile's performance was spot-
ty.
The Arrow, on the other
hand, is being designed
specifically to target mis-
siles.
