## Resource

The military is racing to deploy the $185 billion Golden Dome missile defense system, with an early version expected online by 2028 using existing tech—and already a major operational site is live. Led by General Michael Guetlien and backed by Northern Command’s General Greg Guillot, the project aims to unify over a dozen current defense systems into one seamless network to counter complex, multi-wave threats. While $22.5 billion has already been spent on radars, interceptors, and space-based weapons, Congress demands more transparency—and $17 billion was pulled from a stalled budget bill, making full funding a political uphill battle. With integration across Cyber and Indo-Pacific Commands underway, success hinges on bipartisan support and public trust.
