Space Development Agency (SDA), Minister Donald Trump's He launched a study to support his “Iron Dome for America” proposal. In an executive order issued in January, the Trump administration has ordered a study to defend against advanced missile threats, including hypersonic weapons, cruise missiles, drones, Iron Dome He suggested establishing a similar system. This system, Israel's Iron DomeIt will have a multi-layered defense structure, similar to .
Multi-Layered Missile Defense System
The new proposed system, Missile Defense Agency, Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor Program ve SDA's Pervasive Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) It will be expanded based on existing space-based systems such as SDA. The common architecture of SDA is hundreds of missile warning satellites As a structure containing , it is designed to detect and track threats in orbit.
Space Based Technologies and Defense
In a statement made by the SDA, Iron Dome As part of the proposal, it was stated that a very important review process regarding space-based defense technologies was initiated. In this process, defense companies technology concept proposals SDA seeks to enhance and integrate PWSA’s contributions to global kill chains and missile defense.
Key Topics to be Examined
The issues that the SDA will deal with during the review process are as follows:
- Modeling, simulation and analysis of PWSA's capacity to counter existing and new threats
- Accelerating the integration of the Missile Defense Agency’s space sensor technology into the PWSA
- Introduction of new missile tracking and storage layer technologies
- Improving on-orbit sensor data processing and fusion capabilities
SDA also seeks feedback from the defense industry on these proposals. Until February 28nd These studies aim to collect Department of DefenseIt will provide important information about 's defense strategies.
Missile Defense Agency Budget
In connection with this proposal, Senate MPs, to finance new missile defense shield Fiscal year 2026 to your budget 10,4 billion dollars ve Fiscal year 2025 in 19,5 billion dollars They introduced a bill that would add the following: This bill is based on Trump’s proposal and was signed by the Biden administration 2022 Missile Defense Review's findings are based on.
These studies will enable a major step forward in America's defense strategies and will make a significant contribution to the development of space-based missile defense systems.
