Trump's missile defense system needs extensive government collaboration

President Donald Trump's proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense system will require extensive government collaboration, similar to the Manhattan Project, according to Space Force General Michael Guetlein. The project aims to protect the U.S. from various missile threats. Guetlein emphasized the need for cooperation among defense and intelligence agencies to develop the system, which would rely on space-based sensors and rapid-response interceptors. He plans to brief the White House on progress by the end of the month. The Golden Dome would enhance current defenses, which primarily focus on ballistic missiles from North Korea. Trump has requested funding from Congress, stating the need for a robust defense system to protect the U.S. homeland.
