💨 Abstract
Donald Trump disclosed the specifics of his $175 billion "Golden Dome" missile defense system this week. This shield is designed to detect and intercept missiles at various stages, from launch to reentry. The announcement comes in response to advancements by China and Russia in hypersonic and ballistic missiles. The dome, inspired by Israel's Iron Dome, will use satellites and missile launchers to neutralize threats, though it's still in the initial development phase by the Pentagon.
