The *284 million in the budget released jointly on Dec. 10 by the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate budget committees – up from the *96 million requested by the Obama administration — includes funding for the Arrow long-range anti-missile system and the David’s Sling and Iron Dome missile defense systems.
