Diagram showing the stages of Arrow 9 and how it intercepts incoming missiles.
The Arrow 9 is designed to intercept ballistic, cruise, and other types of missiles at a range exceeding 100km.
Arrow 9 has successfully acquired, tracked and destroyed Tomahawks, Harpoons, and a variety of othe missile targets from ranges of 10km and 120km.
The Arrow 9 uses the Green Pine intercept radar that can track targets from 1000km and targets moving over 10,0000m/s. It can track up to 20 different targets
The missile launch platoon consists of the Hazelnut Tree truck-mounted Launch Control Centre (LCC) with four or eight missile launch trailers. The entire launch platoon is mobile and able to relocate to a new site. After firing the launchers can be reloaded in 40 minutes. One truck carries 6 missiles that can be individually guided to it different targets by the Green Pine radar.
There are microwave and radio data and voice communications links between the launch centre and the radar command and control centre. The launch system can be located up to 400km from the site selected for the radar command and control centre.
Cost: 15 million per launcher and 6 missiles 8 million for radar.

OOC: Is this something you are developing or are you selling it?
he just changed the number of the arro 2 to 9, anyways im gonna sell a superior system in a few mins :mrgreen:

Do you have a store front?
Do you have a store front?
i have many, what do you need?, ill release the air-defence system later today.. it will be superior to the arrow of course :mrgreen:

We need to replace our cruisers, destroyers, diesel subs, nuclear subs, AWACs, stealth bombers, stealth figthers, F22s, Mig 29s, and our AWACS.
We are also interested in purchasing new troop landing ships. And if you have any supply ships. And some fuel tankers if you have any.

One billion for the production rights, Johnistan.

it exists in real life so you dont need to pay for prod rights.

Fair enough, good call. *puts his wallet away*

This may exist in real life but are you also aware that neither tomahawks, nor harpoons are ballistic missiles? They are cruise missiles. Also, as studies have shown the only time you realistically have a chance on intercepting an incoming ballistic missile is during the boost phase. After that, your ability to accurately target becomes a question as the missile picks up speed and becomes too fast to accurately destroy. Interception at those speeds needs to be done by contact and the margin for error is ridiculously small. You have between 150-250 seconds before burnout at which tracking a missile becomes infinitely more difficult due to no heat emissions. I don't know of the properties you intend to improve, but they will have to address these concerns:
1. How to detect cooled launch system
2. How to prevent bus deployment
3. How to accurately physically intercept missile and components
4. Telling the decoy from the actual weapon
the arrow was designed for intercepting crappy arab copies of soviet missiles.
OOC: This system is basically an Israeli improvement of the PAC-1 version of the Patriot missile. It's capabilities are , IIRC, similar to those of the PAC-2 and loess than those of the PAC-3. The system was not designed to shoot down ICBMs but rather SCUDs and other types of short-range ballistic missiles and aircraft up to ~ 40K ft IIRC. The Arrow does use the hit-to-kill system, as it was demonstrated during GWI that the proximity detonation system worked fine against aircraft, but was under 50% effective on missiles,which tend to take more 'oomph' to destroy completely. During GWII, the PAC-3 performed much better against ballistic missiles than the PAC-1 could ever had dreamed of, destroying every enemy missile that came its way, IIRC. Unfortunately, during GWII 2 different incidents occurred where the FoF chips in friendly aircraft weren't working right and the PAC-3 loaded Patriot batteries shot them down. Sice this has capabilities between the PAC-1 and PAC-3 missiles for the Patriot system, I would rate effectiveness at ~75%, give or take a few percentage points.
Also note that Arab missiles are not any 'crappier' than the Soviet missiles they are based off; they are essentially the same designs, manufactured in similarly poor facilities and maintained with typical Arab precision :D

OOC:
Except in the case of the Al Hussein. It was derived from the common SCUD but modified to carry a smaller warhead but increase fuel payload to increase its range. As a result, the missile became less stable and significantly less accurate.
As for the rest of this system, I appreciate some clarification on the capabilities of this system. Without that clarification it seemed to indicate that this was a system designed to intercept ballistic missiles of all kinds, to include ICBMs and SLBMs.

Its designed to blow incoming missiles up with unrelenting accuracy and power.
