Forty years after President Ronald Reagan first imposed the idea, the defense industry leaders say that technology is finally advanced enough to build an invisible protective domer based on rocket and laser weapons over the United States.
President Donald TrumpHe was blinded by the railway budget defense system through Israel, first ordered the Defense Department to start preparing plans for the US version, “Golden Dome”, in January.
But Israel It is about the size of New Jersey, so the coupoms of protection could show far more frightening for a much larger country of the US and the threats of Israel usually come from their neighbors, which use short-range weapons. American enemies – North Korea, Iran, Russia and China – are half the world and armed intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMS) and hypersonics, all factors that make the NATION AND US SCALE OF USA
So the questions remain. Will the golden dome cover the entire country, including Hawaii, Alaska and US military bases in locations like Guam? Could it protect against rockets in a short range, long rockets, unmanned and mother aircraft?
The answers can at least partly at the end of the month, when the Ministry of Defense and the Management and Budget Office is a plan to fund the project of the White House. But the defense industry leaders say that the technology exists in order to make the golden dome reality.
“In our opinion, it must be a layered system. Because, you know, shooting UAV, for example, very different from recording a hypersonic vehicle or hypersonic weapon,” said Aytheon CEO Phil Jasper. His company Aerospace, Chief American Defense Works, produces a rocket system Patriot, Javelin antitank rockets and various radar and air systems.
The US is already employing a layered rocket defense system known as an order, control, management and communication system (C2BMC) that uses radar for detecting incoming missiles and fire.
It has technology such as Thaad (a high-pressure connection defense) for intercepting ballistic missiles and patriot to intercept rockets, ballistic missiles and aircraft. But the country has only seven active taad batteries arranged on a global scale, with an eighth expected to become operational this year.
Five things to know about the President Donald Trump ‘Iron Dome’ plan for America
Space force General Michael Guetlein said Sundays that the construction of the golden dome will be needed for a complete approach to the computer level on the rocket defense agency, the army, navy, space force, the coast and much more.
Defense performers, some of whom believed for years, say it is on the horizon on the horizon, saying the protection zone can start around larger cities such as New York and Washington, DC or stripting military pages before spreading the entire homeland.
“What I understand (aim) is really protected by the whole of us is to put up the cups around the homeland,” Edward Zoiss, president of space and airspace for L3harris technology.
Jasper predicted some of these defense measures could be installed quickly, as soon as 2026.
“What the administration has set up this block of blocks that you can start protecting certain areas, occasionally, certain regions and build it to produce these systems. And they can continue from production lines,” he said.

Director of Bluehala Jonathan Moneymaker said the dome would be a “less technological problem” and more than challenging the organizational structure.
“The complete potential of all these skills working together with each other together, in that scale are definitely some new elements,” Moneymaker said.
John Clark, Vice President of Lockheed technology and strategic innovation, said the plan would require the Pentagon to “think about what he has on the shelf.”
“There are systems that are sitting in air nationally surprise or in our current local defense infrastructure in the country. They could actually be arranged in the USA,” he said.
Clark noted that the deployment of defensive infrastructure at home “present our current conflict list in the larger world”. But he suggested that everything that happens something drawn from the army could today be returned later for global use.
Zoiss, whose company, L3harris technology, has already built a rocket defense satellites that could be used for radar systems based on a golden dome, said the biggest challenge of a rocket no longer followed predictable trails.
“If you return to your school teaching physics, if you understand the angle and path of the bullet, you understand exactly where it will follow because it follows the parabol,” he said.
Gold dome will need radar capabilities based on space, experts say (Lockheed Martin)
“ICBMS respected the paraboles of the paths for decades. But a new class of high maneuver cruise and hypersonic weapons now no,” he explained. “Their endpoint is uncertain. And our defensive systems in the United States must now be changed to be more robust to follow that weapon throughout the entire path.”
The radar based on space will be a critical element of threats in the future, according to Zoiss.
“Our challenge is a really long-term weapon. It is a weapon that is large distances that are maneuvered around our current water-based radar system. So our current architecture cannot be provided in fire. And, therefore it has to be moved into space.”
The golden dome could be drawn on missile defense missions, such as the air defense system of the competent region, which is designed to protect Washington, DC, from incoming threats and employment systems such as Norwegian National Advanced Surface Rocket (NASAMS).
And that could look at other systems already in the works on a small extent. The Army works on a new iron-up defensive system known as the indirect fire protection (IFPC) system (IFPC) system 2. and microwave systems with high power that could knock the entire Drone swarms from heaven.

The marine corpus plans fields of three mobile defense systems, including the modified Iron Dome Bacer.
Other needs could be exceeding radar, including a filling of the mouse in the Arctic region for low flying missiles that hug the Earth’s curvature to avoid detection.
Guetlein said the nation would have to “break the barriers” between the title 10 and the title of 50 United States, federal laws that manage the defense of the nation and the tour.
“No doubt, our greatest challenge will be organizational behavior and culture that we bring all pieces together,” Guetlein said.

It is expected that most of the funding will be invested in Trump Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Application to the Congress, which works white house. Even with initial financing, the project could take years to end, and it will not be cheap.
Steven Morani, acting Undersecretary of Defense for the purchase and sustainability, said on Wednesday, he worked with the private sector to address “Overview” project challenges.
“In accordance with the protection of the homeland and according to the executive account of President Trump, we work with the industrial chain challions and the supply chain associated with the standing of the golden dome,” he said.
