In the White House on Tuesday, President Trump revealed the broad contours of his plan to build a missile defense system – the first step of what a shocking task.
The most interesting parts of the program, currently known as Golden Dome, have not yet been determined, what the system looks like, how can it be blocked and the homeland from a frequent transformation of missile threats from the whole world.
What we know is that it is not cheap, easy or soon. Sure a year, multibillion efforts to be involved in air systems, land, sea and space. Trump puts the total cost of $ 175 billion, but a congressional budget office Estimated estimates That only space elements can reach as much as $ 542 billion to deploy and operate the following 20 years.
In a sign of future sticker shock, Congress is allocated $ 25 billion For the golden dome of the defense budget next year. American military contractors and rocket companies, including the Spacex of Elon Musk, have been diagnosed with how competitions for contracts to build the system. For sight: The US government rushes $ 300 billion in missile defense systems over the past four decades.
A new generation of radars, sensors, intertictors and associated systems are under the golden dome to know, track the missiles before they strike before they strike before they strike. That is, Golden Dome is not a singular program. This may include 100 or more programming programs for a beach, boundary to the border of aerial attacks. If the ingredients established, the military should be a means to be essential to it all by a command-and-control system.
Trump says it will be completed within three years, but industry officials and analysts expect space-based elements longer. The President also mentions Canada wants the scope under the Golden Dome and that the leadership of the country wants to have a paper, but he does not explain.
Trump hopes to change the house what he sees as successes in the missile defenses abroad. In January he Initial Executive Participation Called for drinking Iron Dome Dome Dome System in the United States.

The intelligence agency last week describes the developmental threat facing the United States from countries such as China, Russia, Iran Korea in an unknown analysis titled “Gold Dome for America. “The graphic describes a range of intercontinental ballistic missile, submarines launched Land Attack Cruise Missiles capable of reaching the speed of sound.
There is little doubt that the United States is at risk from missile attacks, but not clear if the Golden Dome will eliminate modern technology. And although the system has been proven by testing, Congress should continue to flow the fund in the tune of billions of dollars every year.
Trump said he “completed the job” that President Ronald Reagan began in the 1980s of his invincible space-based space-based space-based “Starne-based War.” The program canceled after technology challenges are very difficult to overcome, despite years of effort and billions of federal spending dollars.
To monitor Golden Dome’s progress, Trump named Gen. Gichael A. Guetlein, currently served as a space chief in space space in space. He draws decades of experience in the extraction space, Missile Defense and operation. She probably knows more than any of the challenges she has spread.
