Israel to Receive Forward Based X-Band Radar

The Raytheon built radar is intended for missile defense, and is rumored to be able to, "Detect a baseball at 2,900 miles".

It should give Israel about twice the warning in the event of an Iranian missile launch at them, as it exceeds the stated performance of their Green Pine radar developed for the Arrow missile.
