Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that "Delivering the Iron Dome to the US military once again proves the close ties between Israel's Defense Ministry and the US Department of Defense, the efficacy of the system's against various threats, and the excellent technological capabilities of Israeli industry.

"I am certain that the system will help the US military defend American soldiers against ballistic and air threats, and against the threats that are being developed in placed where forces are deployed on various missions," Gantz said.

In August 2019, the Defense Ministry and the US Department of Defense signed an agreement for Israel to supply US military forces with two Iron Dome systems. The first was delivered in September and is being installed in the US. Both systems were delivered on time.

Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems develops and manufactures the Iron Dome system in conjunction with Israel Aerospace Industries ELTA Systems, which developed and manufactures the system's MMR radar; and MPrest, which supplies Iron Dome's control and monitoring systems.
