The United States Marine Corps (USMC) plans to purchase dozens of\u00a0Iron Dome launchers<\/a>\u00a0and thousands of interceptor missiles in a deal that could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, the War Zone reported on Saturday citing a procurement notice of intent publicly available online.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The deal, which would see the USMC purchase some three batteries’ worth of the Iron Dome system, would be conducted with Raytheon, which has a deal with Israeli manufacturer\u00a0Rafael Advanced Defense Systems<\/a>\u00a0to distribute the system to the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

The prime contractor for the development and production of the Iron Dome is Rafael, who adapted the system to USMC requirements and assisted with testing support.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marine Corps’ Iron Dome deal has been in the works<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Last year, the\u00a0Jerusalem Post<\/em>\u00a0reported that completed a series of interception tests on an air defense system using Israel’s\u00a0Tamir Interceptor<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The experiment included a series of three tests carried out over the course of several months. The system successfully intercepted a variety of targets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
