During a U.S. Marine Corps event on May 6, the Medium Range Interceptor Capability was successful in its live-fire test that engaged targets representative of cruise missile threats.

The test examined MRIC’s integration capabilities with the US Marine Corps’ AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Task-Oriented Radar, Common Aviation Command and Control System, and components of the Iron Dome Weapon System, including the Tamir interceptor.
