President Trump has signed an executive order to establish an Iron Dome defense system for the U.S., modeled after Israel's successful framework. This initiative, termed "The Iron Dome for America," mandates the Secretary of Defense to devise a strategy for countering various aerial threats, including ballistic and hypersonic missiles, within 60 days. The system will involve ground and potentially space-based components to effectively safeguard the larger U.S. territory from complex threats developing over the past 40 years, responding to the evolving capabilities of peer and rogue adversaries.
The Iron Dome defense system will be tailored for the U.S., combining land and space elements to protect against diverse aerial threats.
The executive order emphasizes the increasing complexity of threats from adversaries and outlines a plan for next-generation aerial defense systems.
