U.S. Missile Tracking Radar in Israel to be Operational by Mid-December
[Stars and Stripes] John Vandiver - The U.S. radar recently deployed to Israel to help it defend against a potential missile attack from Iran is in the midst of final tests and should be operational by mid-December, said Maj. Bryan Woods, a spokesman for the U.S. military team in Israel. The radar is reported to be capable of tracking a baseball-size object from a distance of 2,900 miles. It will help Israel to more rapidly activate its missile defense system in the event of an attack.
