The United States is developing a new missile defense system known as the Golden Dome, modeled in part after Israel’s Iron Dome. However, unlike its Israeli counterpart, the Golden Dome will integrate both surveillance and interceptor satellites, forming a comprehensive space-based defense shield. The initiative, to be led by a Space Force general, aims to deploy hundreds of satellites to detect, track, and neutralize threats such as ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, hypersonic weapons, drones, and even nuclear payloads.
Key features include autonomous components—advanced detection sensors, real-time tracking systems, interceptor satellites, and command-and-control networks—all linked through constant data sharing. The system is designed to neutralize threats shortly after launch, giving the U.S. an edge in rapid-response defense.
However, the project has drawn international criticism. Russia and China argue it could militarize space, violating the Outer Space Treaty of 1966, which prohibits placing weapons of mass destruction in orbit or weaponizing celestial bodies.
