Along with the Trump administration’s executive order, the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) introduced the Increasing Response Options and Deterrence of Missile Engagements (IRON DOME) Act in February 2025.
A provision of this act is:
$12 billion to expand missile interceptor fields at Fort Greely in Alaska with new Next Generation Interceptors. These missile interceptors are part of the Ground-based Mid-course Defense (GMD) system with involved contractors being Boeing, Orbital Sciences Corporation, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman.
The “Iron Dome for America” executive order also requires that the Pentagon – jointly with the Office of Budget and Management – submit to the White House a plan to fund this directive. The Trump administration is currently working on its fiscal year 2026 (FY26) budgetary outline and therefore seeks to have guidance in how much funding it should request for the Dome’s various components before it finalizes a proposal.
