Then, it has to track the missiles along their trajectories as they <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> hundreds or thousands of miles.<\/p>\n<p>These requirements are met by deploying a variety of sensors on a number of different platforms on the ground, at sea, in the air and in space. Interceptors are placed in locations that protect vital U.S. assets and usually aim to engage threats during the middle portion of the trajectory between launch and the terminal dive.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. already has a broad array of sensors and interceptors <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armscontrol.org\/factsheets\/current-us-missile-defense-programs-glance\" target=\"_blank\">in place around the world<\/a> and in space primarily to protect the U.S. and its allies from ballistic missiles. The sensors would need to be expanded, including with more space-based sensors, to detect new missiles such as hypersonic missiles. The interceptors would need to be enhanced to enable them to address hypersonic weapons and other missiles and warheads that can maneuver.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_this_technology_exist\"><\/span>Does this technology exist?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Intercepting hypersonic missiles specifically involves several steps.<\/p>\n<p>First, as explained above, a hostile missile must be detected and identified as a threat. Second, the threat must be tracked along all of its trajectory due to the ability of hypersonic missiles to maneuver. Third, an interceptor missile must be able to follow the threat and get close enough to it to disable or destroy it.<\/p>\n<p>The main new challenge here is the ability to track the hypersonic missile continuously. This requires new types of sensors to detect hypersonic vehicles and new sensor platforms that are able to provide a complete picture of the hypersonic trajectory. As described, Golden Dome would use the sensors in a layered approach in which they are installed on a variety of platforms in multiple domains, including ground, sea, air and space.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"mb-4\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\">\n    <meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Golden Dome: An aerospace engineer explains the proposed nationwide missile defense\u00a0system\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\/?v=D3TwZ4dGKsg\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Golden Dome: An aerospace engineer explains the proposed nationwide missile defense\u00a0system\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2025-05-23T06:52:32-04:00\"\/><br \/>\n        <meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D3TwZ4dGKsg\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/D3TwZ4dGKsg\/maxresdefault.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n             <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trump &quot;Golden Dome&quot; plan&#039;s cost and timeline\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D3TwZ4dGKsg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n         <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>These various platforms would need to have different types of sensors that are specifically designed to track hypersonic threats in different phases of their flight paths. These defensive systems will also be designed to address weapons fired from space. Much of the infrastructure will be multipurpose and able to defend against a variety of missile types.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of timeframe for deployment, it is important to note that Golden Dome will build from the long legacy of existing U.S. missile defense systems. Another important aspect of Golden Dome is that some of the new capabilities have been under active development for years. In some ways, Golden Dome represents the commitment to actually deploy systems for which <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/news.usni.org\/2025\/05\/20\/report-to-congress-hypersonic-missile-defense\" target=\"_blank\">considerable progress<\/a> has already been made.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                        <!-- TechX - News - In-article --><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_near_100_protection_a_realistic_claim\"><\/span>Is near 100% protection a realistic claim?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Israel&#8217;s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/israels-iron-dome-air-defense-system-works-well-heres-how-hamas-got-around-it-215512\" target=\"_blank\">Iron Dome<\/a> air defense system has been described as the most effective system of its kind anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<p>But even Iron Dome is not 100% effective, and it has also been overwhelmed on occasion by Hamas and others who <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/israels-iron-dome-air-defense-system-works-well-heres-how-hamas-got-around-it-215512\" target=\"_blank\">fire very large numbers of inexpensive missiles<\/a> and rockets at it. So it is unlikely that any missile defense system will ever provide 100% protection.<\/p>\n<p>The more important goal here is <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rusi.org\/explore-our-research\/publications\/commentary\/us-must-upgrade-its-missile-defence-deter-russia-and-china\" target=\"_blank\">to achieve deterrence<\/a>, similar to the stalemate in the Cold War with the Soviet Union that was based on nuclear weapons. All of the new weapons that Golden Dome will defend against are very expensive.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. is trying to change the calculus in an opponent&#8217;s thinking to the point where they will consider it not worth shooting their precious high-value missiles at the U.S. when they know there is a high probability of them not reaching their targets.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_three_years_a_feasible_time_frame\"><\/span>Is three years a feasible time frame?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>That seems to me like a very aggressive timeline, but with multiple countries now operating hypersonic missiles, there is a real sense of urgency.<\/p>\n<p>Existing missile defense systems on the ground, at sea and in the air can be expanded to include new, more capable sensors. Satellite systems are beginning to be put in place for the space layer. Sensors have been developed to track the new missile threats.<\/p>\n<p>Putting all of this highly complex system together, however, is likely to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.twz.com\/space\/trumps-golden-dome-missile-shield-what-we-just-learned-and-its-implications\" target=\"_blank\">take more than three years<\/a>.

So, $25 billion to launch Golden Dome would represent only 2.5% of the total requested defense budget.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that is still a lot of money, and a lot of other programs will need to be terminated to make it possible. But it is certainly financially achievable.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_will_Golden_Dome_differ_from_Iron_Dome\"><\/span>How will Golden Dome differ from Iron Dome?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Similar to Iron Dome, Golden Dome will consist of sensors and interceptor missiles but will be deployed over a much wider geographical region and for defense against a broader variety of threats in comparison with Iron Dome.<\/p>\n<p>A second-generation Golden Dome system in the future would likely use <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gao.gov\/products\/gao-23-106717\" target=\"_blank\">directed energy weapons<\/a> such as high-energy lasers and high-power microwaves to destroy missiles.
