New Missile Range Instrumentation Vessel To Support Golden Dome
The Office of Management and Budget has announced that Hanwha Philly Shipyard will construct a new missile range instrumentation vessel, dubbed Golden Defender, to support the Pentagon’s Golden Dome missile shield system. The vessel will be built under the combined management of Hanwha Philly and TOTE Services, with the goal of supporting the president’s policies of restoring American maritime dominance. The Golden Defender will serve the Missile Defense Agency in its mission to track missile launches and monitor foreign weapons tests. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
