US EditionDenver Satellite Maker Wins $237 Million Space Force Contract
- On May 20, 2025, the U.S. President announced the introduction of the Golden Dome missile defense initiative, designed to utilize advanced technologies from land and space to safeguard the country against missile attacks.
- The announcement follows decades of prior missile defense efforts, including Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, amid increasing missile threats from adversaries like North Korea.
- Golden Dome aims to intercept ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles via complex space-based sensors and interceptors, though its feasibility and timeline face skepticism from experts.
- The project carries an estimated cost of $175 billion over three years, with $25 billion included in recent legislation, but experts warn it may require costly military trade-offs and face congressional hurdles.
- If fully developed, Golden Dome could reshape national defense but still risks provoking arms races and may struggle to achieve its ambitious goals within the proposed timeframe.

President Trump has proposed the building of a Golden Dome, a space-based missile defense system that would protect America from enemy attacks with conventional and nuclear missiles. This is a brilliant and long-overdue initiative. We have the technology. All we need now is the will. We also need the same kind of mental approach toward our power grid. Without electrical power, this country would be back in the 16th century in a heartbeat. Take a…
Anti-missile system intensifies US-China nuclear competition
Despite serious doubts about the technical feasibility, affordability and completion date of the “Golden Dome” anti-missile defense system that US President Donald Trump touted on May 20, in principle a missile defense system that would protect the United States is uncontroversial to Americans. The view from China, however, is different. Trump’s announcement of a plan to begin funding […] The post Anti-missile system intensifies US-China nuclear…
Trump’s proposed Golden Dome missile defence system – an expert explains the technical challenges involved
The Trump administration’s recent announcement of a “Golden Dome” strategic missile defence shield to protect the US is the most ambitious such project since President Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) of the 1980s. The SDI programme – better known by its somewhat mocking nickname of “Star Wars” – sparked a heated debate over its technical feasibility. Ultimately, it would never become operational. But do we now have the technol…
