A hearing for senior US missile defense personnel before the Senate around the 2019 budget demand, John C. Rhod, defense secretary for missile defense policy, praised the nature of Israeli development of such systems. Congress and GAO reports, while in Israel the Ministry of Defense and the government are more tolerant of development challenges, and the relationship between the government and engineers and military personnel is part of what this debate is trying to solve.
"I think that in some ways, when we look at our allies like Israel and their test regime, they are much more willing to go back to the test area, start a flight test system, work on their problems, understand that there must be obstacles on the road," says Rod. "So I think I'm definitely the second who agrees to the approach you're trying to encourage us to take."
Senator Dan Sullivan, who took part in the discussion, added: "And as you probably know, Mr. Minister, the Israelis are now looking into the great state of Alaska, in Kodiak, Alaska, so they learn a lot there too." (Referring to the arrow system).
The discussion also raised the issue of the systems that the budget will deal with next year. "The budget improves our regional territorial defense capability with additional Patriot missiles, as well as THAAD, SM3 Block 1B interceptors and SM3 Block 2A interceptors. Our focus is on the development and mobility capabilities that can be relayed, allowing us the flexibility to respond to a crisis or any conflict wherever it is Revealed. "

The issue of the hypersonic missiles that Russia and China are developing also raised. "Finally, the budget request will continue to explore groundbreaking technologies for integration into BMDS, including improvements in threat identification, fragmentation interceptors, voice protection technology, space interception, and exploration of high-power lasers and interceptors that have potential anti-missile use at the start of flight," they said.
They also discussed the recent SM3 experiment in which the interception failed. "One example I'll use is the latest SM3 2A experiment, we did not get an interception, we believe we understand why we did not do it, but if we look at what we did, we got the launch of the SM3 2A Magis Ashur, which is absolutely critical for the sites in Romania , In Poland, and if the Japanese will realize their intention to purchase two sites of the system, this is clear proof of this capability, "said Brig. Greaves, commander of the US Missile Defense Agency.
