Congress drops Army mandate to buy more ‘Iron Dome’ defenses against cruise missiles (Jen Judson, Defense News)

Congress plans to scrap its requirement for the U.S. Army to procure two additional batteries of the Rafael-Raytheon developed Iron Dome air defense system as an interim cruise missile defense capability, a move for which the Army has been pushing.

The FY22 National Defense Authorization Act released this week, which has passed the House and will be taken up for a vote by the Senate next week, would eliminate the requirement in order to prioritize resources for the service to pursue an enduring Indirect Fires Protection Capability, or IFPC, system, according to a summary of the legislation.
