The new battery will be equipped with the new intercepting missile of the Arrow system, considered more accurate than previous missiles.

It will also feature the new radar Oren Adir, which has an increased range to cover longer distances and the ability to identify the type of missiles fired at Israel.

A management centre to fire special shots will be established at Herev Magen in the Palmachim and Ein Shemer Air Force Bases.
