| Israeli Navy Tests New Missile Defense Systems to Counter Hizbullah Capability |
| 2010-09-14 |
| [An Nahar] The Israeli navy is testing a new missile defense system for its small and fast patrol boats to bolster its defenses in face of Hamas and Hizbullah's growing anti-ship capabilities, The Jerusalem Post reported. The boats, which include the Super Dvora and the Shaldag, are used to enforce the blockade on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon during wartime, the Israeli daily said. The new defense system includes a radar, which detects and tracks incoming missiles, and uses an electronic warfare system to jam its signal and divert it from its course, according to the Post. The decision to develop a missile system for patrol boats came over fears that Hamas and Hizbullah are bolstering their anti-ship capabilities. The navy is also upgrading its reconnaissance and intelligence- gathering capabilities and has decided to buy a number of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), The Jerusalem Post said. |
