NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION	3 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION a. Company: Arotech Corporation (“Arotech”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) provide defense and security products for the military, law enforcement, emergency services and homeland security markets, including advanced zinc-air and lithium batteries and chargers, and multimedia interactive simulators/trainers. The Company operates primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries FAAC Incorporated, a Michigan corporation located in Ann Arbor, Michigan (Training and Simulation Division) with locations in Royal Oak, Michigan and Orlando, Florida; Epsilor-Electric Fuel Ltd. (“Epsilor-EFL”), an Israeli corporation located in Beit Shemesh, Israel (between Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv) in Dimona, Israel (in Israel’s Negev desert area) and Sderot, Israel (near the Gaza Strip) (Power Systems Division); UEC Electronics, LLC (“UEC”), a South Carolina limited liability company located in Hanahan, South Carolina (Power Systems Division). b. Basis of presentation: The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Arotech Corporation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, with the instructions to Form 10-Q and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and include the accounts of Arotech Corporation and its subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position at March 31, 2016, its operating results for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, and its cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. The balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. c. Goodwill and other long-lived assets: Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting units with their carrying value. The Training and Simulation and the Power Systems reporting units have goodwill. As of its last annual impairment test as of December 31, 2015, the Company determined that the goodwill for both reporting units was not impaired. In concluding that goodwill for the Company’s Power Systems reporting unit was not impaired at December, 31, 2015, the Company determined the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model (“DCF model”). The DCF model includes projections of future cash flows and assumptions in relation to future short-term and long-term growth rates and weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). Inherent in the valuation at December 31, 2015, were key variables, including the WACC and the terminal growth rates of approximately 12% and 3%, respectively. With all other assumptions remaining constant, if either the WACC increased by 0.5% or the terminal growth rate decreased by 0.5%, the Company may have determined that proceeding to step 2 of the impairment analysis, as indicated in ASC 350-10, was necessary. Consistent with previous interim reporting periods, the Company monitors qualitative and quantitative factors, including internal projections, periodic forecasts, and actual results of the reporting unit. Based upon this interim review, the Company does not believe that goodwill or its indefinite-lived intangible assets attributable to the Power Systems reporting unit are impaired. d. Reclassification: Certain comparative data in these financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. e. Contingencies The Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings and other claims. The Company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as potential ranges of probable losses. The Company has not made any material changes in the accounting methodology used to establish its self-insured liabilities during the past three fiscal years. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for any contingencies is made after careful analysis of each individual issue. The required reserves may change due to future developments in each matter or changes in approach, such as a change in the settlement strategy in dealing with any contingencies, which may result in higher net loss. f. Certain relationships and related transactions 1. Officer loans 2. Consulting agreement with Sampen Corporation Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s amended and restated agreement with Sampen, Sampen provides one of its employees to the Company for such employee to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company pays Sampen $8,960 per month, plus an annual bonus, on a sliding scale, in an amount equal to a minimum of 25% of Sampen’s annual base compensation then in effect if the results the Company actually attains for the year in question are 100% or more of the amount the Company budgeted at the beginning of the year, up to a maximum of 75% of Sampen’s annual base compensation then in effect if the results the Company actually attains for the year in question are 110% or more of the amount the Company budgeted at the beginning of the year. The Company also pays Sampen, to cover the cost of the Company’s use of Sampen’s offices as an ancillary New York office and the attendant expenses and insurance costs, an amount equal to 16% of each monthly payment of base compensation. On February 16, 2016, the Company notified Sampen that it will terminate its consulting agreement effective June 30, 2016. 3. Consulting agreement with Admiralty Partners : h. Accounting for stock-based compensation: For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 the compensation expense recorded related to restricted stock units and restricted shares was $116,806 and $158,874, respectively. The remaining total compensation cost related to share awards not yet recognized in the income statement as of March 31, 2016 was $482,461. The weighted average period over which this compensation cost is expected to be recognized is approximately one and one-half years. Income tax expense was not impacted since the Company is in a net operating loss position. Additionally, on February 2, 2016, the Company and an investor (the “Investor”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) providing for the sale to the Investor of a total of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price valued at $1.99 per share. As the Investor was also given the right to nominate a member of the Board of Directors pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, and the shares were issued at a discount to the then market price, this resulted in additional stock compensation expense of $375,000. g. Anti-dilutive shares for EPS calculation: All non-vested restricted stock and non-vested restricted stock units have been excluded from the calculation of the basic and diluted net income per common share because all such securities do not participate in losses for the periods presented and the Company has excluded any restricted stock or restricted stock units that will never vest under the current program. The total weighted average number of shares related to the outstanding non-vested restricted stock and non-vested restricted stock units excluded from the calculations of basic and diluted net income per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 were 1,122,582 and 1,254,843 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015.

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]
Inventory Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 3: INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the average cost method or the FIFO method. The Company periodically evaluates the quantities on hand relative to current and historical selling prices and historical and projected sales volume. Based on these evaluations, provisions are made in each period to write down inventory to its net realizable value. Inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items, technological obsolescence, excess inventories, and for market prices lower than cost. Inventories in the Training and Simulation Division increased $670,000 from December 31, 2015 and decreased $370,000 in the Battery Division in that same time period: March 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 (Unaudited) Raw and packaging materials $ 8,065,153 $ 8,184,476 Work in progress 1,188,620 760,585 Finished products 654,203 662,775 Total: $ 9,907,976 $ 9,607,836

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 4: SEGMENT INFORMATION a. The Company and its subsidiaries operate primarily in three business segments and follow the requirements of FASB ASC 280-10. Additionally, the three segments are also treated by the Company as reporting units for goodwill impairment evaluation purposes under FASB ASC 350-20-35. The goodwill amounts associated with the Training and Simulation Division and the Power Division was determined and valued when the specific businesses in the reportable segment were purchased. Subsequent to December 31, 2015, the Company reassessed its reportable segments and established a third reportable segment herein referred to as the Flow Battery Division. The Flow Battery Division is a research and development operating segment with the purpose of developing an iron flow battery for power grid storage. The Flow Battery Division was previously accounted within the Power Systems Division. No goodwill has been allocated to this reportable segment as the relative fair value was determined to be zero. The Company’s reportable operating segments have been determined in accordance with the Company’s internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those used by the Company in the preparation of its annual financial statements. The Company evaluates performance based upon two primary factors, one is the segment’s operating income or loss and the other is the segment’s contribution to the Company’s future strategic growth. b. The following is information about reported segment revenues, income (losses), and total assets as of March 31, 2016 and 2015: Training and Simulation Division Power Systems Division Flow Battery Division Corporate Expenses Total Company Three months ended March 31, 2016 Revenues from outside customers $ 13,300,842 $ 12,105,639 $ – – $ 25,406,481 Depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses(1) (272,660 ) (900,891 ) – (1,487 ) (1,175,038 ) Direct expenses(2) (10,927,734 ) (11,101,609 ) (261,646 ) $ (2,033,120 ) (24,324,109 ) Segment net income (loss) $ 2,100,448 $ 103,139 $ (261,646 ) (2,034,607 ) $ (92,666 ) Financial income (expense) (11,061 ) (29,054 ) – (297,543 ) (337,658 ) Income tax expense (62,800 ) – – (150,653 ) (213,453 ) Net income (loss) $ 2,026,587 $ 74,085 $ (261,646 ) $ (2,482,803 ) $ (643,777 ) Segment assets(3) $ 51,101,611 $ 60,327,299 $ – $ 2,470,729 $ 113,899,639 Additions to long-lived assets $ 150,411 $ 283,466 $ – $ – $ 433,877 Three months ended March 31, 2015 Revenues from outside customers $ 13,438,122 $ 10,788,586 $ – $ – $ 24,226,708 Depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses(1) (207,176 ) (1,126,588 ) – (6,469 ) (1,340,233 ) Direct expenses(2) (11,731,646 ) (10,377,587 ) (181,027 ) (511,903 ) (22,802,163 ) Segment net income (loss) $ 1,499,300 $ (715,589 ) $ (181,027 ) $ (518,372 ) $ 84,312 Financial income (expense) (11,615 ) (24,631 ) – (291,362 ) (327,608 ) Income tax expense (27,257 ) – – (212,124 ) (239,381 ) Net income (loss) $ 1,460,428 $ (740,220 ) $ (181,027 ) $ (1,021,858 ) $ (482,677 ) Segment assets(3) $ 58,629,419 $ 62,437,020 $ – $ 520,771 $ 121,587,210 Additions to long-lived assets $ 95,659 $ 370,094 $ – $ 4,502 $ 470,255 (1) Includes depreciation of property and equipment and amortization expenses of intangible assets.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 7: SALE OF BUILDING In March 2007, the Company purchased 16,700 square feet of space for the now-discontinued Armor Division in Auburn, Alabama for approximately $1.1 million pursuant to a seller-financed secured purchase money mortgage. Half of the mortgage was payable over ten years in equal monthly installments based on a 20-year amortization of the full principal amount, and the remaining half was payable at the end of ten years in a balloon payment. The building was leased to a third party and was listed for sale with a local real estate agent. Additionally, the carrying value of this property was written down to zero as part of the 2011 Armor Division impairment. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was marketing the facility for sale, and it had no recorded book value. On February 9, 2015, the Company sold the building to the tenant for $925,000, resulting in a gain (after fees) of $895,000 which was recorded in general and administrative expenses on the income statement. On that same date, the existing mortgage and building sublease were terminated and this ended any obligation the Company had in relation to the property.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	b. Basis of presentation: The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Arotech Corporation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, with the instructions to Form 10-Q and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and include the accounts of Arotech Corporation and its subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position at March 31, 2016, its operating results for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, and its cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. The balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	c. Goodwill and other long-lived assets: Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting units with their carrying value. The Training and Simulation and the Power Systems reporting units have goodwill. As of its last annual impairment test as of December 31, 2015, the Company determined that the goodwill for both reporting units was not impaired. In concluding that goodwill for the Company’s Power Systems reporting unit was not impaired at December, 31, 2015, the Company determined the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model (“DCF model”). The DCF model includes projections of future cash flows and assumptions in relation to future short-term and long-term growth rates and weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). Inherent in the valuation at December 31, 2015, were key variables, including the WACC and the terminal growth rates of approximately 12% and 3%, respectively. With all other assumptions remaining constant, if either the WACC increased by 0.5% or the terminal growth rate decreased by 0.5%, the Company may have determined that proceeding to step 2 of the impairment analysis, as indicated in ASC 350-10, was necessary. Consistent with previous interim reporting periods, the Company monitors qualitative and quantitative factors, including internal projections, periodic forecasts, and actual results of the reporting unit. Based upon this interim review, the Company does not believe that goodwill or its indefinite-lived intangible assets attributable to the Power Systems reporting unit are impaired.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]	d. Reclassification: Certain comparative data in these financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block]	e. Contingencies The Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings and other claims. The Company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as potential ranges of probable losses. The Company has not made any material changes in the accounting methodology used to establish its self-insured liabilities during the past three fiscal years. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for any contingencies is made after careful analysis of each individual issue. The required reserves may change due to future developments in each matter or changes in approach, such as a change in the settlement strategy in dealing with any contingencies, which may result in higher net loss.
Related Party Policy [Policy Text Block]	f. Certain relationships and related transactions 1. Officer loans 2. Consulting agreement with Sampen Corporation Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s amended and restated agreement with Sampen, Sampen provides one of its employees to the Company for such employee to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company pays Sampen $8,960 per month, plus an annual bonus, on a sliding scale, in an amount equal to a minimum of 25% of Sampen’s annual base compensation then in effect if the results the Company actually attains for the year in question are 100% or more of the amount the Company budgeted at the beginning of the year, up to a maximum of 75% of Sampen’s annual base compensation then in effect if the results the Company actually attains for the year in question are 110% or more of the amount the Company budgeted at the beginning of the year. The Company also pays Sampen, to cover the cost of the Company’s use of Sampen’s offices as an ancillary New York office and the attendant expenses and insurance costs, an amount equal to 16% of each monthly payment of base compensation. On February 16, 2016, the Company notified Sampen that it will terminate its consulting agreement effective June 30, 2016. 3. Consulting agreement with Admiralty Partners :
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	h. Accounting for stock-based compensation: For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 the compensation expense recorded related to restricted stock units and restricted shares was $116,806 and $158,874, respectively. The remaining total compensation cost related to share awards not yet recognized in the income statement as of March 31, 2016 was $482,461. The weighted average period over which this compensation cost is expected to be recognized is approximately one and one-half years. Income tax expense was not impacted since the Company is in a net operating loss position. Additionally, on February 2, 2016, the Company and an investor (the “Investor”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) providing for the sale to the Investor of a total of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price valued at $1.99 per share. As the Investor was also given the right to nominate a member of the Board of Directors pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, and the shares were issued at a discount to the then market price, this resulted in additional stock compensation expense of $375,000.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	g. Anti-dilutive shares for EPS calculation: All non-vested restricted stock and non-vested restricted stock units have been excluded from the calculation of the basic and diluted net income per common share because all such securities do not participate in losses for the periods presented and the Company has excluded any restricted stock or restricted stock units that will never vest under the current program. The total weighted average number of shares related to the outstanding non-vested restricted stock and non-vested restricted stock units excluded from the calculations of basic and diluted net income per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 were 1,122,582 and 1,254,843 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015
