The information leaked drop by drop. The future antimile defense system in the United States, a colossal project of $ 175 billion, is expected to consist of four protection, according to a document that received Reuters.
This details more the way in which this “golden dome” will be formed by Donald Trump: of the four strata, three will be based on the ground and will be equipped with interceptor missiles, radars, even laser weapons; And one will be placed in orbit, in space, to improve the detection and ability to aim at threats, in particular missile attacks.
Reuters indicates that the system could also be composed of 11 short -ranking batteries positioned in the US territory, understanding Hawaii and Alaska.
The new, reports that the news agency is the mention of a third antimile site, which would be built in the west, to complete the capabilities already deployed in the buried interceptors of Alaska and California-44, according to Defense News. These facilities are mainly oriented towards defense against intercontinental ballistic missile attacks.
It is the heart of the earthly component of the intermediate antimisile defense, which will be modernized with a new generation interceptor, designed by Lockheed Martin.
The number of pitchers, interceptors, soil stations and missiles has not yet been determined, the program has only recently been released.
An ambitious program maintained
The document was presented by the Pentagon during a conference dedicated to space defense and antimiles problems in Huntsville, in Alabama, while the Department of Defense has drastically limited the public discourse linked to the “Golden Dome” project, as reported by Politic.
According to Reuters, the presentation evokes exchanges and data crops with manufacturers, laboratories, universities and other government agencies. However, Spacex would not have cited in the document due to the degradation of relations between his boss and his former Dege Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
Announced with large fanfare in April, the “Golden Dome” program is inspired by the Israeli antimile defense system “Iron Dome”. Its objective is to protect the US territory from any attack from heaven, and space. This Antimisile Curling project is ambitious, both due to its reach (given the United States area) and by the calendar: Donald Trump shows a first objective of operational capacity by 2028.
As for the budget, it is colossal, but it may not be enough: $ 175 billion in total. Reuters recalls that the United States Congress has already budgeted $ 25 billion for the program and that the draft of the 2026 budget could assign about 45 billion to the “Domo Domo”.
The Pentagon appointed “the main architect” of the “Golden Dome” in mid -July: General Mike Guetlein will be responsible for carrying out the project. Reuters recalls that it aims to build a working group in mid -August, after it will have two months to present a first version of what the global architecture of the system will be, before producing a complete implementation plan.
