The Times of Israel:

An American prototype air defense system based on Israel’s Iron Dome has successfully completed a set of trials, simulating threats the US Marine Corps is expected to face, Israel’s Defense Ministry said Monday.

The system — dubbed Marine Corps’ Medium-Range Intercept Capability (MRIC) — combines the Iron Dome’s launcher and Tamir interceptor missiles with a Marines radar and command center.

In the first trial, MRIC hit several simultaneously-launched targets, which simulated cruise missiles, from different directions and on different trajectories, the ministry said.

According to the Defense Ministry, the prototype is “tailored to existing USMC assets and expeditionary requirements.”
