    Israel may still lack advanced technology to improve the Jericho's guidance. In 1992 a Defense Department study, the Militarily Critical Technology List, found that Israel lacked a number of specialized devices to make and inspect parts and assemblies for gyroscopes and integrated sensor systems though this finding is over twenty years out of date.
