For the first time, the full production of an Iron Dome "Tamir" interceptor missile has been completed on American soil. The first fully manufactured and assembled Tamir interceptor for the Iron Dome system in the United States was delivered to the Defense Ministry's Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure (MAPAT) at a ceremony held at the Raytheon-Rafael Protection Systems (R2S) plant in East Camden, Arkansas.
The R2S facility is a joint venture between U.S. defense contractor Raytheon and Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the developer of the Iron Dome. This milestone signifies a significant expansion of the Tamir missile's production base, moving a key component of Israel's air defense system to the United States.
