" The threat of attack by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks, remains the most catastrophic threat facing the United States ."
-- President Donald Trump, Executive Order 14186
EO 14186, published Jan. 27, 2025, inaugurated the concept of building an "Iron Dome for America" -- soon rebranded as the Golden Dome . It called for the construction of a next-generation missile defense shield to "deter ... any foreign aerial attack on the Homeland," and in particular for accelerating work on the U.S. Space Force's Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture missile defense program comprising one set of satellites to track missile launches, and a second set of satellites to relay data from missile launches to defense systems on the ground.
