>The US Army said it was curbing its plans to adopt the Iron Dome missile defense system due to concerns about its compatibility with existing US technologies, scrapping its plans to buy two more batteries and explore long-term integration of the Israel-developed system.
>A central problem was Israel’s refusal to provide the US military with Iron Dome’s source code, hampering the Americans’ ability to integrate the system into their air defenses.
>“It took us longer to acquire those [first] two batteries than we would have liked,” Murray told the House Armed Service tactical air and land forces subcommittee on Thursday. “We believe we cannot integrate them into our air defense system based on some interoperability challenges, some cyber challenges and some other challenges.”
>The Israeli Missile Defense Organization and the Army last August inked a deal for two Iron Dome batteries. Soon thereafter, according to sources, Army officials repeatedly requested Iron Dome “source code” — proprietary information detailing how the system works.
>Israel supplied engineering information but ultimately declined to provide the source code the Army said it needed to integrate Iron Dome components with US systems.
>of the Israel-developed system kek, here's the joke Israelis developped this from imported US R&D by Raytheon and other US companies that they got for FREE
Something something freetard us govt btfo, use proprietary closed source defense systems like a good goy
Ryder Perry
The whole Israeli missile program is from US R&D from companies like Raytheon, Israel created this retarded system long ago but the experience they gained from Hamas missiles always raining down on them made them develop this system much better, and now US was interested in this fully mature Missile system, but Israel gave them the middle finger
Anthony Miller
>The whole Israeli missile program is from US R&D from companies like Raytheon No, it wasn't. It's entirely Israeli. Raytheon is the Israeli partner for domestic sales. >Israel gave them the middle finger The networking systems the Americans want are held by a private company. The Israeli government cannot force them to open their black box.

>entire country only exists through the 'generosity' of the US taxpayer >Israel develops some cool anti-missile technology with the billions they received for free >doesn't even share the source code for the defense systems that the US paid for in whole Grug think longnose tribe bamboozle him?
Andrew Morgan
>“source code” — proprietary information detailing how the system works Interesting definition.
Connor Kelly
I think it's an explanation, not a definition. The source code for a millitary defense system is almost certainly proprietary, and yes, it details in perfect detail how the system works, as by definition it's the most perfectly accurate specification of the system's behaviour.
Austin Jackson
>source code for a millitary defense system is almost certainly proprietary It shouldn't be allowed to be.
Didn't we rush to produce and deploy Patriot missile batteries in Israel way back when Saddam was threatening them with SCUD missiles? Didn't I read somewhere that Iron Dome descended from Patriot? Why am I reading claims now that this is purely an Israeli system. >donate billions to fund Israeli defense >no refunds, goyim
>"What, so you can check it for backdoors?" >"No we never do that, oh uh uh" >"Emergency, emergency, we have to recall all these, no you cant see the sourcecode, nevermind"
I hadnt realised there were so many defence specialists on Yas Forums

The Israel is effectively a vassal State, they may exist to be useful for us but they usually don't like their status. If this is how it's going to be it's time for the US to cut ties and let the muslim hordes genocide them and personally take the land for ourselves. But conservacucks and defense industry get the $3 billion we send Israel back to line their own pockets so they're not going to do it. Ironically only the democrats are the only ones critical of Israel because they gotta tow the line for their muslim congressmen

Colton Fisher
Your contribution is insignificant on an individual level. You are not important. This doesn't give you status or power, really. It's not your money anymore. Not yours, it's theirs. And you're not invited to their club. You don't represent them and vice versa.
If I were Israel, I wouldn't share the source code either. Once America has it, Saudi Arabia has it one year later, and from there on it gets to ISIS.
Chase Taylor
Ok but I don't want to hear shit from you about anything "Americans" do ever again, got it? Cause they don't represent us, apparently.

if the government prioritized STEM and the education of its own citizens they might not have to farm out this sort of R&D. what are they going to do when they can't find enough engineers and scientists who they can give clearances to because universities are more concerned with collecting out-of-state tuition? does it not undermine national security?
Charles Gray
>I think he ran for public office and then something bad happened
Kennedy actually wanted the Middle East deployment
You think politicians are concerned with anything beyond cheap wins that guarantee them reelection? There's a reason why US politics has devolved into three letter catch phrases and eternal filibusters, companies lobby for tax cuts and that's about it. To hell with the republic, they say.
Alexander Baker
The United States is a federal republic in name only. In reality it's more akin to a plutocratic oligarchy with federal elements In lower branches of the state. These delusions must end.

Kennedy became opposed to the Israeli nuclear weapons program upon catching wind of the matter and sought to pull the plug. Coupled with Bay of Pigs turning out as a setup, he refused to remain a tool of the CIA. That was all they needed to put a bullet in his head.

Israel gets conditional money from America and is forced to buy American hardware wish it. It's a racket. Plus there's this expectation of sharing intelligence as well. Israel is basically a satellite state of the US in there ME. Without Israel, the US would be almost blind to what's happening in that shithole.

Explain to me how israel isnt a vassal when they have the strictest aid spending rules.
Adrian Brooks
Aid goes directly into dictator pockets. That’s why it does nothing in those countries. Israel is less corrupt and is actually a first world country so they don’t need aid but get it anyway

killed by jews over him not wanting Israel to have the nukes they stole from us as well as him wanting AIPAC to be labeled a foreign entity, turns out he was right about everything!
Owen Lopez
I warned you about this. Now kikes will get to choise which misdiles hit you and which don't
>killed by jews over him not wanting Israel to have the nukes they stole from us lets start with the fact that Einstein, Oppenheimer, and Teller was jews. Nukes in the first place would not have been possible without these minds. The second thing is known that the United States did not contribute to Israel's knowledge of developing Nukes but France did! France had a motive for that. and she was the most closest ally to israel back than. I guess you're not ashamed of the fact that you mumble nonsense, And you should read more about the topic since it interests you so much.

Iron Dome is a turnkey solution. There should be no need to integrate it into anything. Let's face it, this is because the US military industrial complex doesn't want someone else's turnkey solution because it shuts them out of the gravy train. Raytheon probably wanted $50 billion to deploy an unneeded and barely working hand-off to Patriot to justify Patriot batteries to go along with every Iron Dome when Iron Dome can handle it all itself. So now they're going to ask for half a trillion dollars to develop their own Iron Dome.
