IRONDOME Act of 2025

This bill requires the Department of Defense to take a number of steps to strengthen the country's ability to defend against missile attacks, especially within the United States. It calls for shifting some missile defense work away from the Missile Defense Agency so that agency can focus on research and testing, and it directs military commands to speed up development of defense technology including drone systems, satellites, space-based interceptors, and airships that could help protect the homeland from drones, ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, and cruise missiles. The bill also requires each military command to include its missile defense needs in its yearly budget requests. It references an executive order signed by President Trump on January 27, 2025, which similarly directs the Department of Defense to develop plans for a next-generation missile defense shield for the United States.
