Following that test, the Corps\u2019 No. 2 officer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2022\/07\/20\/marines-to-buy-iron-dome-based-missile-interceptor-after-successful-live-fire-test\/#:~:text=Marine%20officials%20have%20called%20MRIC,service's%20Force%20Design%202030%20initiative.\">said<\/a> at a Center for Strategic and International Studies event in July that the Corps would start procuring the MRIC prototype it has developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe asked for a wicked solution to a wicked problem, and the MRIC provided that to us,\u201d Gen. Eric Smith, the assistant commandant, said at the event. \u201cAnd we just proved it and tested it. And now we\u2019re going to start moving out to procure that system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MRIC, which the Corps has been developing since 2018, is meant to fill the service\u2019s gaps in medium-range air defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gaining the ability to repel aerial threats at a longer range is one goal of Force Design 2030, a controversial initiative that seeks to transform the Corps into a more nimble, reconnaissance-focused force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps currently uses the Raytheon-made Stinger missile system, Smith said in July. That system can intercept threats at a range of a few miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps hasn\u2019t said exactly how far the MRIC will be able to reach. But it\u2019s safe to say that the distance will be much farther than a few miles. The Iron Dome\u2019s Tamir missiles can intercept targets up to 70 kilometers, or 43 miles away, according to the website for Raytheon, which helps produce the missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MRIC relies on the Corps\u2019 Ground\/Air Task-Oriented Radar, or G\/ATOR, as well as Iron Dome components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe next step in the MRIC Middle Tier Acquisition Rapid Prototype program is a decision, anticipated in December 2022, to proceed with certification of the MRIC system prototype for deployment,\u201d Flynn, the Marine Corps spokesperson, told Marine Corps Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The air defense system could be fielded as soon as 2025, defense publication <a href=\"https:\/\/www.janes.com\/defence-news\/news-detail\/usmc-eyeing-mric-prototype-decision-point-weapon-could-be-fielded-by-2025\">Janes<\/a> reported in
