America Needs New Infrastructure To Counter Evolving Threats
The United States is developing a comprehensive missile defense system, dubbed the Golden Dome, to counter evolving threats from countries like North Korea, China, and Russia. The system will utilize advanced satellites and sensors to detect and destroy incoming hypersonic and ballistic missiles. However, the program’s success is threatened by the country’s outdated industrial base, which lacks the infrastructure to support the development of such a complex system. According to Matt Magaña, president of space, defense, and national security at Voyager Technologies, the US needs to rebuild its industrial base to address the gaps in its manufacturing capabilities, as reported by SpaceNews.
