US President Donald Trump proposed a space-based missile defense system, 'Golden Dome', to counter hypersonic and space-launched missile threats, integrating terrestrial assets and orbital interceptors.
President Donald Trump anticipates that the ‘Golden Dome’ missile defense system could be operational in as little as three years.
The construction of the shield will cost roughly $175 billion, according to the president’s estimate.
The vice chief of space operations at the U.S. Space Force, Gen. Michael Guetlein, has been tapped to oversee the project.
