Data Speed and Precision Define Next Era of Defense
The next era of missile defense may be defined by the speed and precision of data flow rather than the interceptor itself. The proposed Golden Dome initiative aims to create a tightly integrated system of systems, spanning satellites, sensors, communications networks, and weapons platforms. However, government leaders recognize that even the most advanced defense technology is only as effective as the infrastructure connecting it. As reported by GovExec.com, this new operational reality highlights the importance of cyber resilience in missile defense.
