The two companies toured a Camden, Arkansas, site where they may decide to build the Tamir and SkyHunter intercept weapons.
Marine Corps representatives visited a location in Camden, AR, and met with U.S. defense contractor RTX and Israeli company Rafael to "discuss the possibility" of domestically producing the Tamir interceptor missile, according to a Tuesday service announcement.
“This will be a great thing for the Medium Range Intercept Capability program and for the USMC, if this occurs,” Don Kelley, the Marine Corps Program Executive Officer Land Systems Ground-Based Air Defense program manager, said of a US production facility.
The U.S. Senate passed the Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) yesterday with an 86 to 11 vote.
