Hello All,

Below are links to material on the joint Israeli/U.S. (Rafael/Raytheon) Blue Sparrow, Black Sparrow, and Silver Sparrow air-launched ballistic targets. These target missiles are launched from F-15 fighter jets to simulate enemy ballistic missiles. They are used to test the Arrow ABM (Anti-Ballistic Missile) system. Here are the links:
