Dan Sullivan Press Release
WASHINGTON—U.S. Senators Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) and Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), members of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), today introduced the Increasing Response Options and Deterrence of Missile Engagements (IRON DOME) Act, legislation to strengthen and expand the U.S. missile defense system to protect the entire country from increasing nuclear missile threats posed by America’s adversaries. The IRON DOME Act will enhance domain awareness, the eyes and ears of missile defense architecture; bolster U.S. missile defense capacity to meet peer and near-peer threats; and accelerate the development of new capabilities to counter future threats. The legislation is intended to work in concert with President Trump’s executive order, “Iron Dome for America.”
