America’s big defense company Lockheed Martin has announced that it will conduct real testing of a weapon that can shoot down a missile from space by the year 2028. It is being said to be a part of the ‘Golden Dome Project’, which will provide such a protective shield to America that no missile will be able to reach it.

Company CEO Jim Tacklett said that this will not be a lab test, but a test conducted in real space. He said that we are making such an interceptor which will fly in orbit, track the missile and destroy it. That is, this system will be tested in real conditions like war.

What is the purpose of this project?

America wants that if an enemy country fires a missile, it can be destroyed in the sky within a few seconds of launch. Due to this, no missile will get a chance to reach American soil. That is why this new space-based defense system is being prepared.

How will the Golden Dome System work?

According to the news published in ‘The War Zone’, Lockheed Martin has prepared the initial technology of this system at its Center for Innovation in Virginia. This will be a network that will work by connecting the security systems of all three places: land, sea and space. Many big tech companies and defense industry partners are also included in this so that America’s technology remains at the forefront in the world.

Preparation to destroy the missile in the first stage of flight itself

According to defense experts, any ballistic or hypersonic missile can be shot down only in the first few seconds after its launch, i.e. ‘boost phase’, because that is when it is the weakest. For this reason, the focus of the Golden Dome system is on this phase so that the enemy attack ends before it reaches the American border.

This system will work even on mid-course

This system will have the ability to track and destroy the missile not only at the time of launch, but also in the mid-course phase, i.e. when it is flying in space. Due to this, even long-range missiles like ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) will not be able to reach America.

Why is this mission special

Defense experts say that if this project of Lockheed Martin is successful then the world’s missile defense technologies like S-400 or Iron Dome will be left behind. America will create such a space defense network that will be able to stop any attack as soon as it takes birth.

Now space has become a new battlefield

Although the Pentagon i.e. the US Defense Ministry is not saying much on this project, but experts say that this plan will become an important part of America’s Space Force in the future. It is now clear that future wars will be fought not only on earth but also in space.

Whether from the second part of the world or from space, Golden Dome will destroy every missile … This announcement of US President Donald Trump has increased the concern of many countries. North Korea and China have described America’s ‘Golden Dome’ missile shield plan as extremely dangerous. He says that this move by America is in danger of nuclear war in space. Last week, US President Donald Trump announced several details and funding regarding the Golden Dome missile shield plan and said that it is very important for the success and survival of the country.

Donald Trump says that the US will deploy the next generation of technology in land, sea and space, in which sensors and interceptors will be deployed. North Korea’s official news agency Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said that the Ministry of External Affairs has issued a memorandum, calling the Golden Dome a threat to the whole world as it can make the space a nuclear battleground.

Why is North Korea objection to Golden Dome in America?
The memorandum of North Korea alleged that the US Outer has taken up the militarization of space. It said that the US would raise nuclear and space weapons worldwide by converting external space into a possible nuclear battle sector and provoking security concerns in nuclear -rich countries.

Another reason for North Korea’s concern is that America is its neighbor and enemy country South Korea. Both have accelerated military exercises in recent times and South Korea has increased the deployment of nuclear powered submarine, aircraft and other American weapons to prevent North Korea. North Korea has condemned these military exercises of both countries and accused of rehearsal of attack.

China and Russia are also upset
China has also criticized the US Golden Dome missile shield plan and described it as a threat to international security. Earlier, Russia had also objected to this and said that the Trump administration should have talked to Moscow on it. Then Russia was also worried that it would make the space a nuclear battleground. However, later Russia turned into a statement and now it described it as a sovereign issue of America.

Russian President Vladimir Putin spokesman Dimitri Peskov said that if he is in danger of a missile attack, then he must make a defense system. Dimitri Peskov made this statement two days after the announcement of Donald Trump’s Golden Dome Plan.

What is Golden Dome?
The Golden Dome is named from the Israeli Air Defense System Iron Dome, designed to destroy short-range missiles and other attacks. It can destroy thousands of missiles simultaneously. Iron Dome has been working since 2011.

Last week, Donald Trump, while announcing the Golden Dome Missile Shield Plan, said that he had selected architecture for this state -of -the -art system. This Golden Dome will destroy any kind of missile attack, whether the attack is done from another part of the world or from space, it will protect America from every side. He described it as very important for America.

Trump said that the US Space Force General Michael will lead the Guetlin project and Canada has also expressed his desire to cooperate in it as he wants security. Trump says that $ 25 billion has been fixed for the project and this budget can also go up to $ 175 billion.

Us golden dome system: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (May 20) has announced a new and ambitious missile security system ‘Golden Dome’. The purpose of this system is to immediately detect, track and destroy the enemy missiles through satellite. US President Trump has kept a budget of $ 25 billion for the ‘Golden Dome plan’. However, it is about to cost about 175 billion dollars to create the entire system. Its complete construction will be done in America.

Talking about the Golden Dome project, President Trump said that it will be ready by the end of my tenure. The Trump administration has entrusted the responsibility of the Golden Dome project, General Michael Guitalin. It is inspired by Israeli’s ‘Iron Dome’ system, but its scope is much larger and space based. It will include a network of hundreds of monitoring satellites. These satellites will be helpful in destroying missiles immediately after launch. These will be equipped with real time data sharing and radar intelligence. Apart from this, it will include AI based tracking and fire command. This system will be the first line to space-based defense in the US defense strategy.

Canada’s participation and international dimensions
Trump announced that Canada has shown interest in the Golden Dome project and the US is ready to cooperate with its northern neighbor. America does not want to limit this project only to domestic security. It can open new doors of partnership with NATO countries. It is also a political message for countries like China and Russia. General Michael Gulatin has been nominated as the director of this system and superwaizing commander.

Pentagon has already started work
The Pentagon has already outlined the sensor, satellite and missile tests. Budget is preparing for the construction of the initial phase with acceptance. The Golden Dome project was presented by Trump as an election promise, which has now turned into a policy. With its help, the US will be able to make real time tracking and response of ICBM, Hypersonic and Cruise Missiles. America will get an edge in space dominance. Despite the sensitive system, it will prove to be a high-security defense system.
