Historic Iron Dome Funding Boost Creates New Opportunities for Rimon Technologies, Reinforcing Strategic Value of Nukkleus’ Pending Acquisition
Expanded Iron Dome funding drives long-term demand for Rimon’s core technology
New York, NY - Nov. 25, 2025 - Nukkleus Inc. (NASDAQ: NUKK), a strategic acquirer and developer of high-potential businesses in the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry, today announced today that Rimon, the Israeli supplier of critical power and subsystem components for the Iron Dome missile defense system, is expected to benefit substantially from the historic multi-billion-dollar Iron Dome expansion recently approved by Israel’s Ministry of Defense.
On November 20, 2025, Israel’s Ministry of Defense announced the signing of a landmark procurement agreement with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. (“Rafael’) to accelerate serial production of Iron Dome interceptors and supporting systems. The contract is funded primarily through the $8.7 billion U.S. defense assistance package, which includes $5.2 billion earmarked specifically for Israel’s air-defense systems, making it one of the largest Iron Dome production investments in the system’s history.
Through Nukkleus’ controlling stake in Star 26 Capital Inc., Nukkleus is in the process of acquiring Rimon, which has established strong partnerships with Rafael, Elbit Systems, and other leading defense integrators. As the new production surge ramps up, Nukkleus anticipates a significant increase in demand for Rimon’s manufacturing capabilities.
In anticipation of the expanding production requirements, Rimon is preparing to scale its operations beginning in 2026. Nukkleus expects that Israel’s sustained investment in its multi-layered air-defense architecture, driven by heightened regional threat levels and the need to replenish interceptor stockpiles, positions RIMON for strong long-term growth.
Given rising tensions across the region and the increasing likelihood of a future confrontation with Iran involving potential large-scale missile salvos targeting Israel, national defense planners have emphasized the urgency of expanding air-defense capacity. Rimon’s planned growth and Nukkleus’ strategic support are aligned with this national requirement.
The initiative also coincides with expanded U.S.-Israel industrial cooperation, including production in Israel and at the new R2S (Raytheon-Rafael) facility in Camden, Arkansas, which recently received a $1.25 billion contract for Tamir interceptor manufacturing.
“This historic Iron Dome expansion contract validates our strategic decision to pursue the acquisition of Rimon, and position Nukkleus at the heart of Israel’s defense industrial base,” said Menny Shalom, CEO of Nukkleus Inc. “Rimon is already preparing to expand operations as early as 2026, and we expect the new production plan will have a significant impact on both Nukkleus and Rimon. The next major confrontation with Iran is a matter of time, and defense experts are already anticipating scenarios involving hundreds of missiles launched toward Israel. The country must rapidly expand its air-defense capacity, and Nukkleus is playing a key role in those preparations. We are committed to supporting Israel’s security with scalable, mission-critical technologies.”
