Missile defense experts agree Iron Dome would be ill-suited for such a mission to provide air and missile defense to a vast territory like the continental U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, in fact, Iron Dome is a trade-marked name owned by Israeli defense firm, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2020\/08\/03\/raytheon-and-rafael-to-build-iron-dome-in-us\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rafael Advanced Defense Systems,<\/a> according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPlease note the Department of Defense has renamed this program from \u201cIron Dome for America\u201d to \u201cGolden Dome for America,\u201d a Feb. 24 amendment to a request for information from industry, posted to the federal business opportunities website, <a href=\"http:\/\/sam.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sam.gov<\/a>, reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Missile Defense Agency\u2019s RFI posting notes that since the deadline to receive information from industry on developing a new missile defense shield is Feb. 28, the agency will continue to use Iron Dome in reference to the program as answers are submitted to avoid confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, the bureaucracy has yet to catch up on the metallurgical magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Missile Defense Agency and the Pentagon referred queries on the reasoning behind the name change to the White House. The White House did not respond to a request for comment by press time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump&#8217;s new missile defense shield effort is now dubbed
