Defence Minister, Benny Gantz said: “The delivery of the Iron Dome to the U.S. Army once again demonstrates the close relations between the Israel Ministry of Defence and the U.S. Department of Defense, the effectiveness of the system against various threats, and the excellent technological capabilities of Israeli industries. I am confident that the system will assist the U.S. Army in protecting American troops from ballistic and airborne threats as well as from developing threats in the areas where U.S. troops are deployed on various missions.”
In August 2019, the United States and Israel signed an agreement for the procurement of two Iron Dome Defence System batteries (IDDS-A). The first battery was delivered in September and is already undergoing a process of implementation in the U.S. The second battery was delivered in accordance with the agreement and project schedule.
These batteries will be employed in the defence of US troops against a variety of ballistic and aerial threats.
The IMDO is within the Directorate of Defence Research and Development (DDR&D), of the Israel Ministry of Defence
