Program Leaders Say CBO Report Does Not Reflect Current Plans
Defenders of the Golden Dome missile defense program are pushing back against a new $1.2 trillion cost estimate from the Congressional Budget Office. Program leader Gen. Michael Guetlein says the report is based on outdated information and does not reflect current plans. The program has received significant funding through partisan reconciliation measures, but its long-term future remains uncertain. This development was first reported by Defense One.
