Raytheon-Rafael Protection Systems delivered the first Tamir interceptors produced at its Camden, Arkansas, facility, marking the start of U.S. production for the Iron Dome system. The plant also plans to manufacture SkyHunter, the U.S. variant used by the Marine Corps' Medium Range Intercept Capability.

The Arkansas Economic Development Commission says the facility represents a $63 million investment and is expected to create up to 60 jobs. It opened in November 2025 and is intended to provide a second production source for domestic and allied air-defence demand.
