The Golden Dome Missile Defense System

This source describes Golden Dome, a comprehensive, multi-layered missile defense system being developed for the United States. Initiated by executive order, this system aims to protect against various aerial threats including ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Unlike a regional defense like Israel's Iron Dome, Golden Dome incorporates boost-phase interceptors, advanced tracking, electronic warfare, and a vast domain awareness network from the ocean floor to space. The project is a collaborative effort led by the Missile Defense Agency and the U.S. Space Force, with Lockheed Martin contributing to its technological advancements.
