U.S. Army seeks to acquire Israeli Iron Dome missile defense system

The United States Army sent Congress a 14-page document requesting the approval of $373 million for purchasing a few of Israel’s widely acclaimed Iron Dome missile interception systems. The objective behind this request is to implement a mechanism to shield American ground forces from threats in numerous conflict areas.
