Abstract

President Donald Trump is planning to issue an executive order for the development of a new defense shield, dubbed the "Iron Dome," to protect the US from ballistic missiles and other long-range attacks. The shield is inspired by Israel's Iron Dome system and aims to address threats such as drones, rockets, and cruise missiles. The US has existing missile defense systems in place, but efforts to create a comprehensive defense shield have faced challenges dating back to President Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative. The new system seeks to accelerate the production and delivery of advanced technologies to track and intercept incoming missiles, with a focus on staying ahead of evolving threats from countries like China and Russia.
