The Arrow or Hetz (Hebrew: חֵץ pronounced [ˈχet͡s]) is a family of anti-ballistic missiles designed to fulfill an Israeli requirement for a theater missile defense system that would be more effective against ballistic missiles than the MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missile. Jointly funded and produced by Israel and the United States development of the system began in 1986 and has continued since drawing some contested criticism.
