The Iron Dome is a counter ballistics system that can shoot down missiles, but not maneuvering targets like aircraft. It is a collaboration between the United States and Israel, combining US weapons technology and Israeli expertise. It represents the future role of the US as a provider of defensive tools to other nations, rather than being the world police. By equipping countries with defensive tools like Iron Dome, they can defend their homes and become undesirable targets, shaping foreign conflicts without sending troops.
EPISODE #22: Mike Solana is joined by Anduril Industries founder Palmer Luckey. Anduril is leading the way as an entirely new defense company in the United States, specializing in autonomous systems. In this episode, Palmer discusses the war in the Middle East, the future of American war, concerns over China, banning TikTok, and the production of semiconductors in the United States.
