The announcement was made in the midst of escalating geopolitical tensions and heightened worries about the potential for long-range missile attacks from adversaries. Experts believe that the project is intended to enhance the United States’ deterrence capabilities and regain a strategic advantage in global missile defense technology.
Experts in the defense industry believe that the golden dome project could indicate a renewed emphasis on space-based defense systems, advanced tracking technologies, and the interception of hypersonic threats.
