The Doma Gold Dome defense system of Trump Gold will include four layers, one in satellite and three on land with 11 short -range batteries located in the continental territory of the United States, Alaska and Hawaii, has shown the presentation of the government of the United States for the first time for the project by Reuters.
Entitled “Go fast, think big!” (Go fast, think about the great free translation), the slides were presented to 3,000 defense entrepreneurs in Huntsville, in Alabama last week and reveal the unprecedented complexity of the system, which must face an ambitious deadline – until 2028 – founded by the President of the United States Donald Trump.
It is estimated that the system will cost $ 175 billion, but the slides show that there are still uncertainties about the basic architecture of the project because the number of launchers, interceptors, land stations and missile positions necessary for the system has not yet been determined.
“They have a lot of money, but they still don’t have a cost,” an American authority said. To date, Congress has allocated $ 25 billion for the golden dome in Trump taxes and spells approved in July. Another 45.3 billion US dollars are reserved for the golden dome in its presidential balance request to 2026.
Designed to operate as a shield of multilayer anti -mesh for the United States, the golden dome is inspired by Israel’s iron dome, but it is significantly higher due to the geography that will have to protect and complexity in the face of the various threats it will have to face.
According to the slides, the system architecture consists of four integrated layers: a layer of detection and direction based on the alert space and on the screening of missiles, as well as on the “defense of antiimisi” and three layers of earth consisting of missile interceptors, radar sets and potentially laser.
A surprise was a new and large missilistic field that belonged to the Midwest, according to a map contained in the presentations for next generation interceptors (NGI), produced by Lockheed Martin, which would have been part of the “upper layer” together with the Aegis defense systems, also built by Lockheed.
Other technical obstacles identified in the slides include the communication latency throughout the “chain of destruction” of the systems. Contractors such as Lockheed, Northrop Groumman, RTX and Boeing have a variety of anti -messes defense systems.
In particular, the slides did not mention Elon Musk Spacex, who was part of an offer for golden dome contracts together with the Palantir software manufacturer and the manufacturer of going defense systems.
The Pentagon has declared to collect information “from the sector, the academic environment, the national workshops and other government agencies to support the golden dome”, but it would be “reckless” to spread more information on a program in the early stages.
