During the trials, some scenarios were tested that simulate future threats that the system may face on land and at sea.

We remind you that, in August 2019, the United States and Israel signed an agreement for the procurement of two “Iron Dome” Defence System batteries (IDDS-A). The first battery was delivered in record time and the second one will be delivered in the near future under the agreement. These batteries will be used to defend US troops against a variety of ballistic and air threats.
