Zitat:Space-Based Missile Interceptors For Golden Dome Being Tested By Northrophttps://www.twz.com/space/space-based-mi...y-northrop
Competition to supply parts of Golden Dome is heating up with Northrop Grumman stating they have begun ground testing orbital missiles. [...]
Northrop Grumman is conducting ground-based testing related to space-based interceptors as part of a competition for that segment of the Trump administration’s Golden Dome missile defense initiative. Interceptors deployed in orbit are currently billed as a critical component of the overall Golden Dome plan, but actually fielding this capability presents significant technical challenges. [...] Golden Dome is presently envisioned as a multi-part anti-missile architecture incorporating a swath of existing and future capabilities in space and within the Earth’s atmosphere, which will start entering into operational service by 2028. Golden Dome was originally dubbed Iron Dome before the name was changed earlier this year. It is also now being managed by an office that reports directly to the deputy secretary of defense.
