The U.S. Space Force has kickstarted a new era in missile defense by awarding competitive Golden Dome contracts to firms like Northrop Grumman, Anduril, Lockheed Martin, and True Anomaly to develop next-generation prototype interceptors. These initial awards—worth up to ten million dollars each—aim to advance interception technology for defending against missiles in space, potentially leading to future contracts worth tens of billions. The Pentagon’s push includes developing multiple interceptor types and refining satellite-guided fire control systems to ensure national security against evolving threats.
