US Air Defense System At Risk Amid Congressional Budget Disputes
The Golden Dome air and missile defense program, aimed at protecting US territory, may be halted as early as 2027 due to a lack of funding. Despite the award of several industrial contracts, the program’s continuation is dependent on securing additional funding from Congress. General Michael Guetlein warned that without funding, the program may be suspended, and the Pentagon may be forced to honor contractual commitments, potentially diverting funds from other programs. The program’s future remains uncertain, as reported by Unknown Source.
