The ‘screen displays’ are so crude that we can assume this video to be a product of the Northrop Grumman public-relations department. I doubt if there is any serious simulation being used to generate these images.

I’ve watched a simulated engagement by the Israeli Arrow BMD system, and the screen displays were much more detailed that this. There was no attempt to show a ‘War Games’ style 3D trajectory – on one map display the ellipse showing predicted impact point steadily shrunk as more accurate trajectory data became available, while the zone containing the calculated launch point shown on another map also shrunk.

My recollection is that most of the other displayed data was tabular or in the form of bar charts.

At first, the zone showing the estimated launch point was so large that it contained more than one ballistic missile battery. When the point was reached that the zone contained only one battery, a unit known to have WMD capability, several Arrow missiles were assigned to engage the incoming missile.
