The Arrow 3 weapons system is a major part of Israel's multilayered defense array. This array is based on four layers; Iron Dome and David's Sling, and the Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 systems. The success of this test is a major milestone in the operational capabilities of Israel and its ability to defend itself against current and future threats in the region.

Arrow 3 interceptors were delivered to the Israeli air force in January 2017 for operational use.
