Recently, the US President has announced a 175 billion Golden Dome missile defence shield for the United States.
About Golden Dome:
It is a ground- and space-based missile defense systemdesigned to safeguard the United States from advanced missile threats.
Golden Dome aims to create a network of satellites to detect, track and potentially intercept incoming missiles. The shield could deploy hundreds of satellites for missile detection and tracking.
It will protect the US from long-range missiles, including those launched from space or other continents, and will integrate with current defense systems.
Key Features of the Golden Dome:
Space-Based Interceptors: The system aims to deploy interceptors in space to detect and neutralize incoming missiles at various stages of their trajectory.
Advanced Tracking Technologies: Utilizing space-based radars and sensors, the Golden Dome will provide real-time tracking of missile threats.
Laser Weapons: The integration of laser technology is intended to enhance the system's capability to intercept and destroy missiles mid-flight.
Components of the Golden Dome will be drawn from existing American missile defence assets, including Patriot missile batteries, THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defence), Aegis Ballistic Missile Defence, and Ground-based Midcourse Defence (GMD).
