How will Golden Dome work - How America can be protected?
Many experts believe that the construction of the 'Golden Dome' system can cost more than hundreds of billions of dollars. The Pentagon has decided that this project should be ready before the year 2030. SpaceX has estimated that the initial engineering and design of the "custody layer" of the satellites i.e. the monitoring part can cost around 6 to 10 billion dollars.
Laser weapons: The Golden Dome will have such special laser weapons (Directed Energy Weapons) that will instantly target and shoot down missiles and drones flying at the speed of light.
AI-powered sensor network: It will have an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based sensor system that will be able to identify the threat from all sides (360 degrees).
Multi-layer interceptors: It will have different levels of defense, which will work to stop short, medium and long range missiles.
Space-based alert system: The system present in space will identify any threat in advance and warn America.
Deployment at these places first: Initially, this system will be installed to protect the White House, Pentagon and important and sensitive places of America.
Partnership with other countries: In future, America can share its advanced version with NATO countries, Israel, japan and perhaps even India.
Know why America took this step
America is making 'Golden Dome' because till now there is no such air defense system in the world that can protect against hypersonic missiles. Whereas China and russia have such dangerous hypersonic missiles. Apart from this, advanced drones are also being made and china is also preparing missiles to attack from space. In such a situation, America has decided to make the world's most advanced missile defense system to keep itself safe. Because of this, 'Golden Dome' is not being called a common missile defense system but a strong security shield for America in the future.
