Golden Dome US Space Force | Explained

Опис:

The Golden Dome: America’s Future Shield is a multi‑layered defense system designed to detect, intercept, and eliminate ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles before they leave the atmosphere. At its core are space‑based sensors—an orbiting constellation of 100 to 1,000 satellites—that provide 360‑degree coverage and can identify missile launches by detecting heat signatures, launch plumes, and unique speeds. Once a launch is detected, the system’s AI analyzes data in real time to distinguish real threats from false alarms. Interceptors are positioned in space, just above the atmosphere, allowing rapid engagement during the missile’s vulnerable boost phase. The arsenal includes kinetic interceptor missiles and powerful lasers, giving defenders the chance to neutralize threats before they deploy decoys or multiple warheads.
