Israel Aerospace Industries is currently developing the next generations of the interception system — Arrow-4 and Arrow-5 — designed to counter new threats while reducing the cost of interceptors as much as possible to enable the purchase of greater quantities
While the Iron Dome will be reinforced this year by the Magen Or laser system (both produced by RAFAEL) a laser powerful enough to intercept ballistic missiles is not expected in the foreseeable future Therefore, Arrow and THAAD will remain the workhorses of Israel and the US in this field
The US is considering using Arrow for the Golden Dome, the air defense system initiated by the Trump administration to protect US territory from significant missile attacks, similar to those that have targeted Israel and Ukraine in recent years
