The U.S. Army plans to purchase "a limited number" of the Iron Dome air defense systems that Israel has been using since 2011 to test if they would be a good fit for protecting soldiers from aerial threats.
After perusing other options, the Army concluded that the Iron Dome — which intercepts missiles and shoots them out of the sky — "provides the best value" for what they were looking for, Army Futures Command spokesman Lt. Col. Russell Fox told Task & Purpose in a statement. But, they'll still be looking at other options while they try it out.
