A Lockheed Martin announced that it will launch a space test of at least one missile interceptor by 2028.
A The War Zone According to the Trump administration, the key components of the missile interceptors deployed in space Golden Dome missile defense initiative, although they face significant technical obstacles.
Jim Taicleta Lockheed Martin CEO on the plans for the company’s space missile interceptor system and the Golden Dome he talked about other work related to the project at the quarterly results report conference held last week Monday (21st).
“We have made proposals to develop space-based missile interceptors and other new technologies. In fact, we plan to have a real demonstration of a space-based interceptor by 2028,” he said.
“We’re building prototypes. Working prototypes that aren’t just lab tools or test platforms, but will actually fly into space, into the air, or through a missile field.”
“These are really functional devices that can be mass-produced. So the space-based missile interceptor is one of the devices that we’re already developing, and that’s all I can say about it,” Taiclet added.
During the conversation, the Lockheed Martin his other works are also a Golden Dome within the framework of the project. “THE Lockheed Martin created a prototyping environment in Virginia at our Innovation Center to support collaboration in Golden Dome in developing his command and control skills,” said the CEO.
“With numerous demonstrations a Lockheed Martin its open system architecture already integrates existing and new C2 capabilities from the seabed to space, and more importantly, these capabilities are not exclusively ours.”
“We have a wide range of industry partners involved in the development of the prototype system, ensuring that the US government has access to the best available solutions for Golden Dome in all elements of its ultimate command and control system.”
Although the Pentagon was quite restrained in the Golden Dome about its larger plans, the project appears to be a broad concept that includes a range of current and future capabilities in space and Earth’s atmosphere, reported the TWZ.
However, based on the information made public, the Pentagon and the White House emphasized that space-based missile interceptors are the Golden Dome are at the center of his overall vision.
